Frozen 5K
Join us for the fourth Friendly 5K in four months! We're still planning on doing a run every month!
For this race, we will have a working time clock and a very spectator friendly, flat course. I'm also hoping to have a timing system that uses your phone to get official times, but that's still a work in progress...
The route for this event is 2 loops around the Central Park reservoir. You can check out the Strava map.
I (Victor) ran the loop on Monday Jan 20 and here is what it looked like. It's snow-y but very runnable!
Motivation for Friendly 5K Series
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 are also charging for participating in this race! For a couple 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!
We'll be providing food and drinks after the race. Your race fee will help pay for that.
