Organiser's Description
If you're a runner on a budget, we have a deal for you! On New Year's Day, you can run a 5K for free! The run is limited to the first 40 people to sign up, so make sure you register fast! If you don't register, you're encouraged to be a bandit. After all, it's free!
This is a casual run; we'll have a clock at the end, but there's no actual timing. There will be no awards for the runners, but volunteers will get some sweet prizes for helping out.
