Third Thirsty Thursday Evening 5K Race Series
The event is an evening 5K road race that runs as a monthly series on the third Thursday from April through October. The series takes place at Trooper Thorn’s Irish Beef House, 451 Morgantown Rd (Rt 10), Reading, PA. The October event is noted as taking place "in the dark" and participants are asked to bring a light.
Races use a wheel-measured, mostly flat course on the Thun trail with packed cinder or paved surfaces. Typical layouts are out-and-back courses that go about 1.55 miles to a turnaround and return to the finish. A finish clock and instant results are provided.
Entry options include a seven-race series entry and individual race entry. Series pricing was listed with an early postmark rate and a higher rate thereafter; individual race entry fees are separate. Series entrants register in advance; individual race entrants register on race night. Shirts are available for purchase while supplies last.
Postrace amenities at the venue include light eats, meals for purchase, door prizes, and street parking nearby. Every entry includes one free beer with specific brand limitations and minors receive a free soft drink. Awards include first overall male and female plus multiple age-group awards; there are separate Clydesdale and Clydette categories with minimum weight criteria and requirements to declare that category at first entry.
