I hope everyone is having a productive off season.
Hopefully by now you know me and Friday 5Ks are legit. During the previous 4 seasons, I have hosted 36 5K races, a half marathon, and a couple special events. I have applied my unique skill set to conducting these races at minimal cost, but unfortunately not zero cost.
This year I am hoping to get the funding out of the way in advance of the season so we can get down to the business of running, racing and generally having a good time.
Please consider a $20 donation. For your $20 donation, which is less than the price of a typical 5K race, you will receive the exclusive Fifth Season Commemorative Black Label 3.1(ish) magnetic car oval. I will mail this to you soon, so you can proudly display your support. The only way to acquire one of these ovals is through this exclusive offer.
Not only do you get the Fifth Season Commemorative Black Label 3.1(ish) magnetic car oval which allows you to proudly display your patronage, but you get to take full advantage of all that Friday 5Ks bring to the table.
Such as...
10 races
The most scenic 5K race course in West Michigan
Real time results in multiple formats displayed on your smartphone
Audible results announced at the finish line
The Friday5K
Tournament with trophies to the top 3 finishers
Detailed statistical report chronicling your achievements
Video
of you crossing the finish line
Free - 3.1(ish) stickers, not to be confused with much more elegant Fifth Season Commemorative Black Label 3.1(ish) magnetic car oval
Being part of the magic that is Friday5K
As always, there is no charge to participate in Friday5Ks and they are free to all members of the running community, but they will not exist without your patronage. Please consider donating $20. If half of you that participated last year would donate the requested $20 we would be more than fully funded for the entire season.
If you are going to pay for a 5K race in 2016 why not consider Friday 5K first? Feel the cause is not charitable enough? What could be more charitable than giving something that has value to those that can't afford it. People ask me all the time for what charity are you conducting these races? I contend that Friday5K is directly and efficiently supporting health, fighting depression and instilling self worth in all that participate. I would stack that up against any charitable cause out there. Join me in restful sleep knowing you did the right thing and supported the community of which you are a proud member.
Note: The price increase to $25 on 4/1/16.
