I barely have the energy to make it through the 4 days of Bonnaroo just standing around! I tend to save my running/jogging for the air con confines of my gym.
That being said, great idea and I hope you all have fun out there. Stay hydrated
YYYYYEEEESSSS!!!! This is fantastic. As a pre-fest volunteer, I usually work in a couple of 5 mile runs before the gates open and it's too dangerous with folks walking around and taxis zipping by. It will be nice to see all of the full campgrounds vs. open fields.
The heat, humidity, and lack of sleep from being on site since Sunday will definitely make for a slower pace. I'll be signing up for the fast lane but not certainly looking to come anywhere close to my PR of 20:12.
Hah! This was my goddang idea. I've been emailing Bonnaroo every year since about 2004 asking for a 5K. Last year they told me they were finally going to do one, but since they hadn't announced it I was sure they tabled it. Shame I'm not going this year, I'd be all over this thing.

I'm down. I can do a half-marathon pretty easily so hopefully I'll be able to pull myself off the cot for this one. It seems like it would be a pretty cool experience.

Man, I almost wish I could do this, just because I've sort of started training for an imaginary 5k (in that I've started the Couch to 5k program)...but I've only barely started it, so Roo is way too soon. Plus I know I can't do it in that heat - last weekend I made the mistake of going running in the middle of the day and had to quit halfway through my run.

Well, hell. I'm probably gonna regret this next month, but I'm in. Probably gonna walk/slow jog, though. First time I'm ever even signing up for something like this, too.

Come on now...lets get serious here people. If we can survive a sat. night at ROO we can survive a 5k sat. morn. i can envision me having a nice run and getting my mojo together for NAS pit!
They could fix this up to be safer and more fun at the same time. Why not just make water a theme? Just give everyone a water bottle at the starting line and then set up a station or two throughout and at the end. Then you can set up things like sprinklers, misting arches, maybe some kind of waterfalls and things like that that you would have to run through. Maybe even recruit some people to water gun everyone as they run by. That would make it more fun and cool everyone off at the same time. I think it would make for a safer race. I mean really, how awesome would it be to cross the finish line by going over a giant slip and slide?

So it turns out that our groop camp is right on the route. I'll be handing out water to the runners but 1 out of every 10 cups will be filled with vodka. Ya know, just to make it interesting

Sounds like a great way to get the worst rash of all time.
I'm just teasing you but a water station or two plus plenty of volunteers along the race course will be more than enough to prevent serious injury.
Hopefully they have people at the starting line looking for participants incapable of running. All the water stations in the world won't help if people don't know their own limits. That's going to be the best way to protect everyone.
I am in! I was debating whether to bring my running shoes, and they were going to be left behind until I saw this. Should be fun ... kinda fun, and the funds go to a good cause.

Congrats and best wishes to those of you who have signed up. I'm not in the best of shape, but even when I was I wouldn't do it, running has never been my thing. In fact, if you EVER see me running it means serious danger is occurring.......so either lend a hand or get moving yourself!

I'd love to do this, not in the best shape by far, but I just finished my first half. I just don't want to pass out and die on the roo premises. My girlfriend might just stay at the farm while I recuperate.

I wouldn't be mad... It'd be like when Buggs Bunny gave the other Looney Tunes "Michael Jordan's special stuff" (sounds kind of dirty) and they all played better. Sports psych at its finest. (I'm a child)

Michael's Secret Stuff was in fact just water. That was a placebo. Vodka ain't. Let's not give someone an unpleasant shock that'll dehydrate them and threaten the sobriety of any sober runners. I know he was probably joking but every now and then you see a dipsh*t who ponders the idea of bringing unmarked brownies to brunch and crap like that.
In other news, my dad convinced me to run a 10k with him at the start of June. If I rock that there's a tiny chance I'd feel up for the Bonnaroo 5k. But I'm still pretty sure I'd rather be sleeping beneath my car and gorging on soggy breakfast. Best of luck to those who aren't following in my non-participatory path.

I am torn. I want to do this so badly but I honestly don't see myself being able to on Saturday morning. I usually don't go to bed until sunrise on Saturday and Sunday. I definitely would be more interested if it was Friday morning.
Just signed up. I plan on just doing a light jog/walk for the race. I'd like to say I'd be sleeping at 9am but I always end up being awake way too early in the morning for all of Roo.

Clearly this is a joke, but if I was ever running a race of any kind and someone pulled this sh*t with me, I'd forget all about my time, turn around, and punch them in the f*cking neck.
I'm Scottish man. The only thing we like better than having a laugh is a good old fashioned dust up. That said it was just a goof. Still if you wanna punch me in the neck I'm okay with it.

Good lord people do ye think I'd waste good booze on fools running around a field on a hot day during the most awesome music fest on the planet? For the record it was a joke. Sheesh.

Bro you live in Toldeo.
Yeah. A couple of years ago we got air travel in Scotland. It's really cool. Someday we may get tv. "Bro"
