Last year I ran Richard's Run for Life in historic Ybor City in Tampa. It was a beautiful course on a Friday night... running down the brick roads in the middle of a historic, active scene.
The race supports children's cancer research. The little boy that kicked off the race each year unfortunately lost his young life to cancer last year before the race.
It was such an emotional start. The people gathered to run are all there more for the cause than the run itself. Really, it was beautiful.
So when I heard registration opened for this year's race, I signed up without hesitation! I love putting money into great causes.
You'll notice on my sidebar I added an Upcoming Races list. This 5K will be perfect right before my 10K.... and the 10K right before my Half!!
I encourage you all to look into charitable 5Ks in your area. Most novice runners and walkers can complete a 5K safely. The training and accomplishing will leave you feeling great... and the cause will benefit, too.
I know there are a few Florida readers here. Here you can find out about this great race. Let me know if you're going and we can meet up! (Afterward they have a huge party with tons of great Cuban food! That's worth more than the registration fee!! Yum!)
