Flash 5k! Sounds great! What is it?

A Flash 5k is a sort of mash up between your standard 5k race and a flash mob.

You see, organizing a race is fun but there's one big hurdle - getting your local authorities to give you permission. A Flash 5k conveniently brushes that aside and says "Nah". However, safety is still a concern, so the race won't be held that crosses a highway or heavy traffic.

Also, there's usually something fun or interesting to do while you run. So even if you're a slow poke (like me) and know you'll never win the race, there's still fun stuff to do and prizes you can win for it.

And did I mention the after party? There's an after party at a watering hole that's nearby the race. What's a race without a victory party?

Since the race is a flash mob type event, the race location is kept a secret until about 24 hours before the race.

That's this race in a nutshell. If you think you'd like to do it, head on over to our Facebook event and sign up.

See ya there!
