| 3 Baby Strollers at the Bentley 5K in Springfield |
2. Do Look Out For Baby Strollers. With an increase in parents taking the kiddo's along with them, you want to avoid standing on the platform during the awards ceremony and receive an award for the only racer to run into a baby along the way.
3. Do Wipe the Snot! Avoid that embarrassing finish line photo that gets plastered all over the Internet by giving the ole nose a wipe before you get to the finish.
4. Do Make Up Songs. "Here we go down the street singing... do-wa-diddy diddy-dum-didddy do! We're running this race to beat diabetes! It feels good! It feels fine! Beating diabetes all the time!
5. Don't Stand Still After the Gun. Standing still while adjusting the pace setting on your Garmin at the start of the race is not cool when there are runners behind you.
6. Do Respect the Flag. It is not appropriate at anytime to walk around during the national anthem. Respect the sacrifice of our sons and daughters.
7. Do Cheer Everyone to the Finish. Everyone who made a decision to race that day is a winner. Celebrate it.
8. Don't Judge Other Racers based on age or how they are dressed. You look the same.
