Do you like running hills? How about running one massive hill two miles into an already fast paced 5k?
If you answered yes then oh do I have a race for you!
Friday Night 5k is a race put on by students from the University of Tennessee. The Race is unique in that it is run at night which adds a fun twist to the norm of 5k running. The other aspect of this race that makes it stand out from other races is the dreaded ‘hill’. Ask any UT student what the ‘hill’ is and they will give you the same general look of disgust. If you thought the hill was an obstacle between you and your biology class, imagine the pain it causes runners as they pass the mile 2 marker of an already fast moving race.
The ‘hill’ is the aspect of this race that separates the boys from the men.
I would advise beginner runners to stay far away from this race unless they like walking the last mile. I personally cant express in words the sadness my heart felt when my PR pace was tossed out the backdoor as I approached ‘the hill’ of no return.
Believe it or not I recommend this because of its challenging nature. Go big or go home!
