Way to go committing to your first race! Do your best, run some/walk some, stay hydrated, and have fun!1

It's been more than a year since I did a 5K. The recently arrived preacher at my local congregation is a big time fitness enthusiast who has lost a hundred or so pounds since his some kind of cardiac assist device implant. He's organized 5K races for the church. I missed the first one last month because I got lost and couldn't find his house. This time is at a different location and I've got a GPS. I'm easily 20+ years older than all the runners and will be dragging up the rear, but by golly not by much. There's no t-shirt, but it's free and there's a bathroom available.6

It's not a "race" but a group run. Enjoy the crowd, enjoy the atmosphere, enjoy the excitement, enjoy everything about the event. No matter what happens, this, being your first, will be a personal best in "competition". Enjoy.1

Pretty much every running race I've been part of, and there have been many, the people coming in last get a round of applause for the effort they have put in and their achievement.
Runners are a nice bunch generally.1
