This information will be very helpful to our group. We are planning a 5K as a fundraiser for single parents with an underage child living in their household. Our group gives out scholarships to eligible recipients that can be applied for rent, utilities, child care, etc. to enable them to attain a higher education.

this is a very helpful site. thank you for putting the checklist together. I am working with a small group of people to handle the logistics for a similar event and there may be a need for walkie talkies to ensure communications between the volunteers at different locations.

Thanks so much for the checklist. We’ve got some of this in place already for our run come Dec. 4th, but this is very helpful nonetheless.

Are there rules on awards for 5K fun runs? Are there specific age categories that must be adhered to? What is the difference in a 1st, 2nd 3rd place winner for their age category, vs the “master’s” and “overall” winners?
