We're about half way through the 7th season of HD5k races, and last night was our 181st race since we started in June of 2013. it's been awesome seeing everyone progress over the years, and I look forward to this little show & go race series we have going on here every week. Others have started their own weekly races in other cities, which is also pretty cool.

Since we're at the half way point of the season I'm attaching the HD5k spreadsheet for anyone who wants to download it. This has all of the HD5k race data since the beginning. There are different tabs for each year, personal bests & course records, weather data, etc. There's a lot of good race data here you can sort and filter for.

Thanks to everyone that comes out each week to race! If you haven't raced yet come on out and set your baseline PB then try to beat it! The best thing about this race is that it's more about setting your personal best and trying to beat yourself.
