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)
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
