The r/running #Anywhere5K was great!
So what is an #Anywhere5K? It’s simple really. Instead of registering for a scheduled race at a predetermined location, #Anywhere5K says, “Don’t bother.

On occasion #Anywhere5K hosts a race in which anyone can run for free. Runners choose where they want to run and the #Anywhere5K team handles the event.
