Public Service Announcement

You have 11 days to get the discounted price and 2.5 months to train.

It's a 5k. It's doable. I'll be there. It's Wednesday July 22 at 7ish.

It'll be the most fun 5k you ever do for the following reasons:

It's at night. It is a rarity to find a 5k that is not on a Saturday morning. Saturday mornings are for sleeping in. Wednesday nights are for running. (and Shout Housing)

Free food/drink..times 10. You will not be disappointed. If it's beer you're after, there are plenty of non-drinking runners that will donate their 2 tickets to you. Also the amount of food choices rivals that of the Epic Buffet in Hollywood, Mississippi. Oh you've never been there? Well, just take my word when I tell you the food is plentiful.

Nicollet Island. I'd never been there until I started doing this race. and it's nice..and it's nice..

Hey, Beginners. A 5k is always a good distance to start with. When I got back into running (when I realized I had gained the freshmen 15), this was my first race I 'trained' for. Now look at me. A seasoned marathoner. Could be you. and it all started with the Torchlight 5k.

10 Best Days of Summer. It's true. The Torchlight 5k, the Aquatenniel fireworks are staples of a good summer spent in old mpls.

30 minutes of running plus UNLIMITED fun after. You can make it in 30 minutes..roughly a 10 minute mile? pssh..easy. (24 if you're me. But I set a high standard for myself, so stop trying to compete with me.) Once you finish, you get to enjoy the summer night with hundreds of coooool people and hopefully a sub-par cover band. Also, who knows? Maybe the night will lead you and your sweaty self to Shout House for a little 80's action. I can only hope. Or there's always the Otter.

Register. Now.

please note: I do not work for Life Time Fitness anymore. I'm doing this out of the goodness of my heart because it's an experience I want to share with y-o-u!
