There may be fewer runners on the road because of waning interest, but that doesn't mean there will be fewer races
Orange Bowl 10k had 22 olympians.............

The biggest change in road racing will be the Orange Bowl 10K. Organizers of the world-class road race that had a field of 2,000 runners, including 22 Olympians last year, are moving the Feb. 1 event from the Miami-Dade South campus to the streets of downtown Miami. Because of the heat at the afternoon race last year, the start may also be moved to the evening.

Because of the summer heat and humidity, training is difficult for even the most accomplished runner. But with the beginning of fall, training is increased, and so are the number of races.
south florida runners, moving out to train/work:
Quote
With the mention of October races, runners start expecting better times. The single most important factor is the weather. South Florida saw four top racers migrate to the north for training and business purposes: Rich Bogaty to Pittsburgh, Dan Copper to Raleigh, N.C., Harry Vaughn to Orlando and Shirley Silsby to Cape Cod, Mass. West Palm Beach's top road racer, Curt Boitnott, is also planning a move to north Florida for business reasons.
Bob Dugan was from FL?
Quote
There are still plenty of top runners in the area. Hollywood's Bob Dugan, 31, is South Florida's premier road racer and has been running for 17 years.
The men's racing scene looks strong with Boca Raton's Jim Alexander, last year's Washington D.C. Marathon winner; Jim Hill, 27, of Fort Lauderdale; Bobby Wilhoit, 24, of Pompano Beach; Ron Stetina, 30, of Highland Beach; and Vince Neal, 24, of Coral Springs.
The women's competition is a different story. With many of last year's leaders not competing, the heir apparent may be Boca Raton's Jodi Brunner, who after an injury- plagued career, won three races late last season.
