The Shave Your 5K Challenge

This is your comprehensive guide to the Shave Your 5K Challenge. It will contain links to all the posts about the SY5K Challenge as well as results which will be updated as I receive them. If you haven’t heard about the SY5K Challenge then this is the place to start. If you have heard about it then just skip this post, its sole purpose is to give me a place to host the results that can be linked to from the Shave Your 5K tab above.

The basic idea is to see who can shave the most time off their 5K time during 2008, so everyone will run a 5K at the beginning of the year and another one at the end of the year. The winner is the person that shows the greatest improvement. To enter just e-mail me your name (or online identity), your 5K time, and the name and date of the race. That’s the short version, if you want all the fine print and the terms and conditions see the links below.

  1. I still haven't found a 5K in NYC! They tend to do all 4 milers for some reason. Will keep looking...

  3. I just ran my 5K this morning specifically for your challenge - what a fun idea!

  6. Wow... I was really shocked to find a 5K in Michigan in this horrific weather. Alright, I guess I'm going to have to sign up for one of these puppies!

    Loads of love and luck to all participants!

  7. Dadgumit! Now I have to enter this challenge and I had been working so hard to avoid running. I'll have to look at the race calendars around here to see what 5K is coming up - I haven't run since November, so this should be interesting...

  8. Since I am so close to the bottom, I can only hope that I will make great gains come next winter! :)

  9. I'm so excited to be the middle of the pack here. I should get bonus points for having run my stubble time on New Year's Day in my jammies after partying all night. Come to think of it, I PR with that 31:34, so maybe I should run hung-over more often. Hey - where's that Clif Bar wine link again???

  10. Cool, but I don't see my entry (Theresa aka Reluctant Runner). My time: 28:00. Let me know if I should e-mail again.

  11. I'm running my first 5K on March 15. My stubble time will undoubtedly be determined by how much St. Patty's celebrating I decide to do the night before...and the morning of.

  12. Thanks for doing all of this!

  13. I'm so excited that I'm in the middle. I'll be thrilled if I can stay there!

  14. Shouldn't Vanilla start and/or finish in the middle?
