Impromptu Cinco De Mayo Race (celebrated a day late)

Who: Anyone and everyone who wants to run. Especially those who want to run wearing mustaches and sombreros or other costumes.

What: Impromptu Race to celebrate Cinco De Mayo

When: 7:00 pm at Whiteys on Thursday, May 6th.

Why: There are only two types of guys who wear spandex tights in public: runners and professional wrestlers. We had originally planned to have professional wrestling night, but we couldn’t find a qualified referee. Instead, we’re having an impromptu race.

How Much: One friendly hola to others running the race. Other than that, there is no fee.

Prizes: All finishers will be given their choice of a handshake or high five from other finishers.

The Plan:

Everyone meets outside Whitey's and completes a warm up jog across the river. The invisible start/finish line is somewhere on the running paths behind Town Square.

5k Race - Run on running paths to Lincoln Park. Run the outside loop of the park (around the dog park) and get back on the running paths and head back to Town Square.

5 Mile Race - Run on running paths through Lincoln Park and head towards the Lincoln Golf Course Clubhouse, loop around the clubhouse and head back on the running paths. When you hit Lincoln Park on the way back, run the outside loop of the park (around the dog park) and then get back on the running paths to finish line near Town Square.

This is not a certified course; there will be no official times.

Everyone then takes a cool down jog/walk back over the River to Whiteys for a cool down cervesa (or beverage of their choice)
