Organiser's Description
MALE SIGN RUN FOREST RUN 5K A FORREST GUMP-INSPIRED FUN RUN!
If youve ever watched Forrest Gump and thought, Hey, I could run across America too or at least a few miles, then the Run Forrest Run 5K is calling your name louder than Jenny yelling from a school bus window.
Join us for a race where the only rule is to keep movingbecause once you start running, who knows when youll stop? (Hopefully at the finish line. We do not provide cross-country escort vehicles.)
Expect a course sprinkled with Forrest-approved surprises: a white feather start line, a Bubba-Gump-style finish, and mile markers that remind you just how long Jenny kept Forrest waiting. You might even be overtaken by someone in a ping-pong outfit or a full shrimp costume. It's fine. Its all part of the experience.
Costumes are highly encouragedso grow out that majestic running beard, throw on your brightest yellow happy face T-shirt, and dont forget the classic red hat. If anyone asks why youre dressed like that, just say, I just felt like running!
So tie those shoes tight and come join the fun. After all life is like a 5Kyou never know what youre gonna get.
That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run... and so can you! See you at the starting line!
