I've got a fitness goal that anyone can do. You have five months to get yourself in 5K shape. Join my wife and I on June 9th here:

I saw this run before and getting a few friends to sign up for it--it looks like a lot of colorful fun and no pressure since its not a timed race

This sounds like a lot of fun - do you know what charity benefits?0 -
Sent the link to DH, will see if he's interested. We need to get some 5k's on our plate to motivate through this cold *kitten* weather! Thanks for posting!0

I'm not sure what charity is benefiting from the race this year. I don't think it is announced yet actually.
For those in the western part of the state there is a 5K at the Dutch Days Festival in Fulton, IL (right along the Mississippi) on May 5th.
Another one I really want to do is the Race to Wrigley 5K. It is sometime in April but it's TBA at this point. The race ends at Wrigley.0 -
A fun one I recently heard about for those people in far south western suburbs, Warrior Dash at Dollinger Farm in Chanahon, IL. Someone at my chiropractors office completed it last year - obstacles, mud, hosed off by firemen at the end! :laugh:0

I looked on the website last night and it appears the Chicago Color Run has been rescheduled to June 2nd.0

I would like to do this but I have no idea how to train, at all...and I"m not a runner...and I have a bad knee...
But I would love to make this a starting point for doing this kind of thing. Does anyone have any advice for me so I can do this? Please send me a PM, if possible. Thanks!0 -
I am from a small town in Illinois. Walnut if anyone has heard of it. I am roughly 30 miles south of Sterling, Rockfalls. We have a 5k every year during our 4th of July festival. We do support a charity but at the moment I can't think of it. My son and I did this last year together for the first time. It really is a good feeling to help people and have fun. I will see if I can find a website for the event. Our towns 4th is usually called Hometown Celebration...I will see what I can do. The fireworks every year are wonderful as well. We have a ton of people from all over drive down just for that. Plus the beer garden of course...always good times.0

Couch to 5K (C25K) is a great running program for beginners. You go at your own pace so feel free to repeat days as needed.
I signed up for the color run before they "sold out" now waiting to see if they open it back up so I can complete my team!!0 -
wish it wasn't sold out0
-
keep an eye out on the registration site they may open up more spots...I added myself to the email for notification since I still need 1 of my friends to be able to sign up to complete my team!! I'm hoping they open it back up soon!0
-
I am signed up for this run and super excited!!0

I am slated to do the Color Run on June 2nd! I tried to make a team but only three of us signed up. My daily workout is usually a 5k+ (I try to run 3-4 miles a day) so I think I am prepared, but my two 'teammates' are not runners whatsoever...haha oh well, I am doing it for fun!0

The color run will be here again on OCT 14. registration begins Monday0
