This weekend was the annual Run Like Hell 5K with a start
and finish at the historic Oakview Cemetery in the city limits of Atlanta. It
is a fun race with many costumed runners of all ages and abilities. This one
always sales out and it was a crowd, I would guess, of close to 1,500. Besides the multiple runner awards there is
also a costume award. The little kids have a race within the cemetery and it is
a blast to see all the costumed ghouls, ninjas, and super heroes racing along.
Race morning was cool and rainy which is also kind of
suiting for a cemetery. The majority of
the course is along Grant Park and the residential streets around the
park. This translates into a very hilly
course that is a run out and back. It is a challenge with all those hills and
the crowd. The cool weather helped but
the drizzly rain did not.
Post-race festivities were fun and there were quite a few characters
shaking their bones to the music. As mentioned there are many awards given
out. My time was 24:13 and I took my age
group.
What do you think?
