Top 10 Reasons Why YOU (yes, you) should participate in the 5k!

Reason #10: Impress your friends! How many people can say they’ve participated in a 5k and given back to the community all in one morning? That’s right, you can.

Reason #9: It’s a win-win situation. Not only will you feel good the rest of the day, but you’ll help needy children too!

Reason #8: Make new friends! Participating in a 5k is a new way to meet other runners who will inspire you to exercise more.

Reason #7: Free stuff! The registration fee includes race refreshments, random prize drawings, and a t-shirt. And who couldn’t use a free t-shirt?

Reason #6: Mix it up! A 5k is a great break from your normal routine.

Reason #5: Appreciate autumn! The race will be held in late September and exercising is always more tempting in cool temperatures.

Reason #4: Time to get healthy! Because driving to work just isn’t considered real exercise anymore.

Reason #3: Dust off those running shoes! You know, the ones at the bottom of your closet you haven’t brought out since the 90’s? Bring ’em back in style and run the race!

Reason #2: This could be the start of a new you! Studies show that one healthy choice can lead to another and impact your whole life. So get out there and run!

Reason #1: Give back. All proceeds go to Kids Helping Needy Kids. Think of how many children will benefit from simply an hour of your time.
