Is this a recipe for an injury?

If it's an event you really enjoy, why not volunteer to work at the 5K rather than race? You'll still feel involved and see old friends, but won't risk a stupid injury.

Why not include the 5K race as part of the 20 mile run? Do a warmup, run the 5K all out and do a long cooldown after the race.
