Gobble Gobble Riverside Park 5K
Join us for the second Friendly 5K — it should be a little bit less chaotic than our first event in Central Park.
We have a lot of friends who are a bit into running and have wanted to do a fast 5k, but it's hard to set aside time to go all out unless you have a race planned.
So we have planned that race for you!
We will have pacers for a 20 minute 5k and potentially other speeds, depending on the crowd.
We are also charging for participating in this race! For a few reasons:
We want runners who are serious about coming and running their best. If you have paid to race, I expect you will show up and run hard!
If this goes well, I would like to make this an ongoing thing and get some nicer organizing gear — food for the runners, official timing gear, better event software, etc.
But the payment is flexible! We ask for $15 for all runners but if you don't want to pay, just ping me and I'll give you a coupon.
Also we will have a measured course, a race clock, and bagels and other snacks for after the race!
We'll be dropping a course map in the next few weeks.
