First 5K?

I'm thinking about registering for my first ever 5K. I just began the C25K program, and should be finished with it around Halloween. I'm going to be on vacation for two weeks around Halloween, so I'm looking for a race in November or even December. Anyone from the Mid Atlantic area have any experience with 5K's at that time of year - weather? cold? Anything I should be wary of? I live in Maryland.

    I just finished C25k this summer! I had my first 5 k a few weeks ago and my 2nd one is on the 8th! Also, I have signed up for 1 in Oct and 1 in Nov and looking for one in Dec. I have asthma so I am just a bit leary of running in the cold. I think Nov will be fine but Dec worries me. LOL! Oh well, I will wear a scarf to breathe through! I am in Ohio... I would guess the only c oncern on a course would be ice? Best of luck to you!!!

    I just typed in 5K Kentucky in Google and found a few sites that show what races are avail when. Also try to hunt down maybe the companies who runs races in your area since their site might have a ton of info on it 2. At least the ones in the Cincy area do.
