GET NOTHING 5K #021 - The IronPan 5K

NOTE: this is NOT, I repeat: NOT the IronMan race!  However, if you mumble just enough when telling your friends and family that you "did the IronPan race" on May 16, they might be quite impressed, as long as you dodge any follow-up questions!  That's right, many standout athletes will be competing on this day, but there is also a race for THE REST OF US: a fun and friendly timed 5K in and out of Camp Milton Historic Preserve adjacent to the Jacksonville-Baldwin Rail Trail! This is an EVENING RACE, make sure you read the start time correctly, and don't show up at the break of dawn!  As always, Get Nothing 5K is open to everyone, FREE, and all paces and walkers are very welcome. At the Get Nothing 5K you famously get NOTHING, but thanks to our generous donors, this time all participants will receive an actual mini-iron pan (with fried egg!) trinket as a memento. GET NOTHING 5K offers NO swag bags, NO medals, and absolutely NO shirts - just the pure, unadulterated joy of running together. Experience the exhilaration of crossing the finish line and getting NOTHING: no cheaply made medal to gather dust, no poorly designed t-shirt to stuff in your already overflowing drawer, no pressure to compete for age group awards - just the satisfaction of knowing you ran 5 kilometers and had FUN while doing so. Since you get NOTHING, you even need to bring your own HYDRATION. But that's okay, because you also PAID NOTHING - GET NOTHING 5K is a FREE TIMED 5K. 路‍♂️ Make it whatever YOU want it to be: you can run fast and aim for a PR if you want, but if you "win", you still get NOTHING. Run fast, or run slow - or somewhere in between. Do a tempo run, interval training, use it as a tune-up or shake-out, just get in a few miles for the day, or enjoy a leisurely jog with your running bestie. Meet new friends, catch up with old ones, encourage others along the way, maybe even inspire someone to join the fun next time. Running
