5k Rave Run

We can't believe it's been well over a week since the 5k Rave Run went down.  Thanks to all those who joined us for this one last summer celebration, raising money for the Cedar Rapids Parks and Rec Youth Scholarship Program.  We could tell you had a ton of fun, and all for a great cause.  And just to let you know...

We had a blast running, walking, and raving with everyone! DJ Dave A set the mood as runners arrived and got ready to hit the course.

The skies over Cedar Rapids are gloomy this morning and we are expecting scattered showers throughout the day. This should all clear up in time for the 5k Rave Run tonight at the McGrath Amphitheater.

It's almost here!  Saturday night is the big Cedar Rapids party, the 5K Rave Run and concert featuring DJ Dave.  There's still time for you to sign up, too.  You can do it now here.  You can also come

I was given the chance to join Joy Howe on Fox 28 this morning to talk all about the 5k Rave Run coming up Saturday.  (You have heard about it, right?)  But being a radio guy, and a little nuts, and also up way earlier than I'd like, well, you might say I got a bit goofy.

Some of you Rave Runners may be new to this 5k race, so we put together a list of the things you might want to bring. Even if you're an experienced runner, this list includes some recommendations to make your Rave Run race experience the best that it can be, and the most fun 5k that you'll ever run!

The 5K Rave Run is very near. We are set for the big event on Saturday at the McGrath Amphitheater. Before you lace up that pair of New Balance shoes, it's very important to think about how you will give your body the energy it needs to run...and the post-run satiation as well.

This may come as a shock to no one, but I will say it anyway.  I am NOT a runner.

5K runs are ubiquitous - but maybe you've never considered how that distance breaks down. Fortunately, I brought my calculator to work today.

The 5k Rave Run is coming up, and you may have some questions. Hopefully you'll find all the answers to those questions here. If we left something out, please leave your question in the comments sections below and we'll do our best to help. Happy running!
