How To Dress for a 5K

So you are getting ready for your first 5K and have NO idea what to wear.

  • We got Tshirts for you.
  • If you are carrying items with you, know how you will carry them. SPIbelt, flip belt, hand, pocket, whatever – make sure you have practised running/walking like this.
  • Don’t forget sunglasses – you might need them. It's going to be by the beach hmmmm...
  • Figure out what you will do about your hair – need a hair band, a hair tie, etc.
  • And finally, don’t worry too much about what you wear – you will see a little of everything on the race course. Wear what works for you!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Unwritten 5K Rules

  • If you can run the 5K in under 20 minutes, start on the front row.
  • If you are walking the 5K, be on the last row.
  • Walkers should stay to the right so that runners can pass you on the left.
  • It is perfectly acceptable to throw your water cup on the ground, but if you stand there and drink the water (a) get out of the way and (b) throw your cup in the trash can.
  • Don’t run anyone over – and if you do, stop and help them up.
  • When you cross the finish line – KEEP MOVING. If you stop, someone is likely to run into you. This is also true on the race course – if you have to stop, move to the right and look behind you.
