5ks

On the road to Cape May we were talking about 5ks. Who was signed up for what and we all got mostly in sync.

Then Lydia posted on FB about a 5k in Nazareth. I couldn't make it because I was busy that day. But all her Bari Buddies started signing up and a group of walkers formed. Then I was asked about other races. So I made a list if anyone is interested. This list is by no means complete. I am a bad typist. So do your own research. I'm not responsible for typing things wrong.

If it has one * Lyd is signed up. If it has ^ Bonnie and I am signed up. I think.

Pretzel City in Reading offers a lot of 5ks and sends a weekly newsletter. They go west to Harrisburg and south to Lancaster. Big area. Sign up for the newsletter here.  Filled with races and bad jokes.
