Hand one ten dollar bill to the nice Good Times Series folks, and they'll give you a number. Then you run for 3.1 miles. Hand the other ten to the nice man behind the table and he'll hand you a beer and some change. Drink the beer, then give the nice man behind the table your remaining five dollar bill and he'll give you another beer. Try it, you'll like it. 
Click the FTGTS link in my siggie for more details, come celebrate the return of Spring. The forecast on weather.com says a few showers and 58 beautimous degrees at 7pm, so it should be cold and windy and pouring.  |

I still need to try the weekly Wednesday 5K at Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield, which starts/finishes a perfect 2 mile warmup jog from my house and is only $2.
But I would like to run one of the good times races this year...tonight will just not be the night. Have fun. |

Mike,
I have done that one a couple of times this year - PR'ed at it in early March. At this point I am waiting a little longer until it wont be dark for the race before I head back, and man the headwinds can be brutal.
I live about 4 miles in the other direction - Melrose so it is nice and convenient.

Jeff, do they basically use the Run for All Ages course but run it backwards? I see the markings on the road when I run over there and that's what it seems like. It's probably light enough out now (sunset is 7:13), but damn it's windy over there today. I ran 3 laps of the lake this morning and I feel like I got beat up--it was almost comical trying to run NW along the Main St. side where the wind can get a full head of steam coming across the lake before it hits you nearly head on. |

Yes, it is pretty close to the Run for All Ages course if not exactly. It starts in the Lord Wakefield Parking lot and goes counterclockwise around the lake finishing on the Comverse road under one of the light posts.
Yeah, that headwind is nuts. And with the direction they are running it (they change it to a clockwise course in the summer I guess) you have a headwind from the one mile mark to until you get to the Comverse building. |

Jeff,
Where is the best place to park? I've been meaning to get out there as well since it's not to far from my home.
I usually do Khoury's 4.13 in Somerville on Thursday nights, but would like to alternate weeks with a 5k here and there. |

Ever try the Danvers 5K Fun Run? Entry fee is $0.00 and the beer is super.
It starts at Cody's Beer something on Maple Street across from the Danvers Hardware Store.
It starts at 7 pm and I am about to leave now. |
