Running
DIY 5K
This “Do It Yourself” Event will enable you to run/walk at any time and in any location that is convenient for you. Run around the block, on trails, go down to the track (12.5 laps = 5K), or even run on a treadmill. You don't even have to live in the Greater Forest City Metropolitan Area - so please invite friends and family both near and far to join the fun. While not required – you can submit your time for inclusion in the online “Just For Fun” Results. We will collect times beginning Saturday July 15th until Monday July 24th. There will be No Overall or Age Group Awards. Instructions on "How to submit your DIY times" are found under the "DIY 5K Info" tab above.
