Dance Blue-- 5K

Blog Post #18

Topic: The annual Dance Blue 5K run/walk marathon

    This fall the Dance Blue will be organizing and running a 5K run/walk marathon to help benefit the Dance Blue cause.  On the danceblue.org website there is a teaser video made by students to raise awareness for the event.

    The 5K will be on Sunday, October 26 at 3pm.  The course will be located at the Coldstream Research Park here in Kentucky.  This event will be a fun way to not only get some much needed fall exercise, but to also help raise money and awareness for the Dance Blue cause.

    While the video on the Dance Blue website is entertaining, it's not very informative about the event, offering only what day/time and where it is located.  They fail to mention of there are any fees associated with participating in the 5K, as there often are, or if you need to be signed up to participate in the marathon to participate in the 5K.  These are some questions that would be good to get some answers to.

    I think while it's important to do research into the primary topic, the marathon, it is also equally important that this smaller satellite fundraisers also get the attention that they deserve.
