So, with three days remaining before the 5K, we thought there are several scenarios to cover.
- If you are racing, here are some tips for those last 3 days including prior to the event.
- If you would like to participate but have not trained, you can walk/run at your own pace. This allows you to end the event at our party, which includes veteran events, chances to win prizes, or simply hang out and take advantage of 10-15 food trucks and other vendors.

- If you want to participate, but would like to prepare for next years event, here are some tips.
- Start training early: If you’re not used to running, start training at least 8-12 weeks before the race. Gradually increase your running distance and speed to build up your endurance.
- Set a training schedule: Plan out your runs and stick to a schedule. Start with shorter distances and increase gradually over time.
- Cross-train: Incorporate other types of exercise into your training routine, such as strength training, yoga, or swimming. This can help improve your overall fitness and prevent injury.
- Wear comfortable and appropriate gear: Invest in good-quality running shoes that fit well and are comfortable to wear. Wear clothes that are lightweight, breathable, and moisture-wicking.
- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your runs to keep your body hydrated and prevent cramping.
- Fuel your body: Eat a healthy, balanced diet that includes plenty of carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats. Eat a meal rich in carbohydrates a few hours before your race to fuel your body.
- Get enough rest: Rest is important for recovery and injury prevention. Make sure you get enough sleep and allow your body to recover between training sessions.
- Remember, running a 5K requires a lot of commitment and dedication, but with proper training and preparation, you can achieve your goals and enjoy the experience. Good luck with your training and have fun at the race!
