For the first year ever, Clintonville will have a 5K to kick off the shopping at Fall Frenzy! I rounded up some of the most frequently asked questions to help you decide if this is the right 5K for you. As someone who has only ever walked one 5K, but participates in the Veteran Ruck March every year, I asked some veteran 5K-ers and a few other newbies to be sure that we answered most of your questions.
Q) Who can participate?
A) All are welcome. Feel free to run, walk or volunteer! Bring your kids, strollers/wagons and dogs. Come join us Rain or Shine!
Q) I’ve never participated in a 5K before. What do I need to know?
A) Have fun and follow the designated route (there will be people at all major intersections directing our racers).
