Just signed up for my first 5k

We have the Great Pumpkin Race coming up at the end of September here. It's a run through a corn maze. I signed up although I won't be done with C25k by then. I figure it will help me to feel more comfortable when I go out for the next 5k and run the whole thing.

Great Pumpkins - sounds like fun. And remember to enjoy yourself. A pic when you finish would be good too.

Sounds like fun. Although what with it being a maze, you might have signed up for a 20km run if things don't work out well with navigation.

Good point Gary. According to a friend they mark the course (with footprints at least). I can always default to the "one hand on the wall" trick if needed.

[gary_bart in reply to RunningForBroke]

If you go slow enough, at least you can make any incidents of getting lost into somebody else's fault. (Although not noticing that the footprints are no longer there probably remains your own fault, that's not how blame works).

What's the point of a maze if they show the way through?

The point is more that it's somewhere different to run I think. It also gets all of us out to a local farm where we can learn about local produce.
