Looking for a local 5k run? Here's information on the It's a Wonderful Run 5k run/walk and 1 mile run held at Pope John Paul II High School in Boca Raton, Florida on Saturday, December 18. This event is just a few miles down the street from my house so I am probably going to participate in the 5k run.
I mostly race in sprint duathlons, but a few people have told me that one of the best ways to improve your run time at short distance triathlons and duathlons is to participate in a few 5k's. I just did my last 5k on November 20, at the Delray Beach Turkey Trot. Although I'm not that fast, I did manage a 5k PR at the Turkey Trot and placed 6th out of 19 in my age group with a finishing time of 27:22.
