This past weekend marked our third hosted #Anywhere5K, a virtual race that anyone could run from wherever they were. If you’re new to the concept it’s simple. Instead of registering for a scheduled race at a predetermined location, #Anywhere5K says, “Don’t bother. Go run your own race.”
No registration fees or stale bagels or long bathroom lines. Just roll out of bed and go.
Well this Saturday and Sunday we had a few runners who accepted the virtual running challenge and ran the r/running #Anywhere5K.

r/running knows how to trash talk. Read their UNOFFICIAL TRASH TALK thread. WARNING: There is some seriously bad language, and some pretty funny stuff too.
We love running and we’re glad you love running enough to join us. Thank you all for your hard work!
