My 5k Addiction: Parks and Recreation Running

Sometimes race fees make doing a lot of 5Ks (or other races) almost impossible. One place to check is your local city or county parks and recreation departments. Many of these have at least one fun run or a whole series for $5-$25 per run. They might not come with the frills of T-shirts or medals, but it’s a chance to get out there with other runners and have some fun. This is by no means all inclusive-list, just a start to give you an idea where to find cheap races. Click the city/county below to get more information about their offerings. Happy running!
