Salt Lake Running Co Night time 5K fun run-no 2015 date yet

Fun Run Tomorrow!

Tomorrow is the 5K Fun Run!  Start time is 8:00 am in the center plaza of President's Circle on the U of U Campus (pretty much 200 S. and University Ave (1350 E.--if you've ever been to Kingsbury Hall or Libby Gardner, both those buildings are on President's Circle). 


Look for Stephanie Wood, Camille Kingman or Ryan Snarr somewhere near the check in tables--we'll be there handing out awesome run club stickers for our crew!  

Parking on a Saturday morning shouldn't be too bad.  There are spots all along the circle, but you can also park along 200 South--or if all else fails you can park at the football stadium and walk down (10 min walk).  There is also a visitor parking lot off of 100 South and about 1500 East...but harder to find your way from there  if you aren't familiar with campus). 


 The course does have some elevation (it is on the U campus)--but the good thing is that most of the uphill is at the beginning...the last part is downhill!

First 5K? Here are some tips.

• Drink plenty of water the day before. 
• The morning of the race drink some water when you first get up and then hit the bathroom before you leave home. No gulping large quantities just before the race--fluid management!!
• Eat an easy snack like a granola bar-nothing too heavy or greasy or hard to digest. 
• Get your heart rate going--run in place or back and forth along the sidewalk a bit
• Wear sunscreen or a hat and sunglasses, and if you think you'll need it bring a water bottle (there will be at least 1 aid station with water during the run)

Looking forward to seeing you there!



Its not too late to register yourself or friends and family.  The weather looks like it will be ideal for a run.  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/healthy-stem-5k-and-stem-fair-2015-tickets-16400554500 

Have you registered yet?

To take some liberties with Alma 32:27 "But behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties, even to an experiment upon my words, and exercise with a little portion of running, yea, even if ye can no more than desire to run, let this desire work in you, even until ye believe in a manner that ye can give place for a portion of my words.” Our first official event is a 5K on Saturday, May 30th.  If you aren’t ready to run, walking is an awesome way to participate.  It will be at the U of U campus and start at around 8am.  Registration for the 5K event is now open, so come join us!
