Right Moves For Youth Twilight 5k

The Queen City has a number of annual walk/​runs– Twilight being one. I had the opportunity to get out to this 5k race for the second year now and had really enjoyed it both years.
Unlike most other races, this takes place during the later hours in the day, which has always appealed to me. If you aren’t a morning person, you will like to hear the race starts at 7p on a Friday evening rather 8a on a Saturday morning.
Having the race in uptown is always enjoyable. The route has some good scenery. It will be a little better once they finish the ballpark next year. They have live music, and a couple radio station guys on the mic for announcements sporadically.
The crowd has been moderate. A good amount of runners, but you don’t have to fight your way through people during the race either. At the finish line, staff provides Powerade, water, and oranges for runners.
The event is also held to provide resources, guidance and motivation for student program participants in grades 6 — 12 to succeed in school and graduate with a plan for future success. It’s always good to see a local event with a positive contribution!
