On Thursday, November 1, 2001 the Rice University Track and Field Team along with RunSport, will host the first 5000 meter Personal Best Night.

The format is set up to allow each runner to have the best chance to run a personal best in road racing's most popular distance. The reasons that personal bests have a good chance of being achieved are:
-- The course is flat (it is run on a track)
-- You will get splits every 400 meters (versus every mile on a road course)
-- You will race people of similar ability (different races will be run with people of similar ability)
-- The weather will not be hot (it will be in November)
