10-WEEK VIRTUAL SPRING SERIES
Fun, fun, fun since 2007. The series is going virtual (for now), but we're not changing the fun! You can do this wherever you are, just sign up and complete 10-weeks full of unique and fun challenges en route to your custom 2020 Golden Mylie!
We at the Good Times Series are committed to adhering to all the current federal and local regulations set in place. More importantly, we strive to keep each and every participant in our Good Times Series safe and healthy - and what better way to boost our health than by getting out and running. Please note that we are constantly monitoring the current health situation and strive to bring our weekly 5K's back as soon as possible. For now - let's run virtually, be safe, stay healthy and know we will get through this together!

2020 GOOD TIMES SPRING SERIES
Plan Your Route // Lace 'Em Up // Run Your Race // Collect the Mylie
We're excited about the possibilities of the 2020 Good Times Spring 5K Series. The 10-week series will start on Tuesday, April 21st with our first event. This series we will be releasing different "challenges" on a weekly basis, these are a fun way to still hand out awards, but they are completely optional and not required for participation. All you need to do it plan your own 5K route, lace up those running shoes, complete the weekly 5K, submit your results, and you're well on your way to the legendary Golden Mylie!
Here's how it will work:
Sign up to register for the 2020 Virtual Spring Series. Registration closes 5/6/2020 at 11:59PM - if you register after 4/22/2020 you will not be eligible for the Golden Mylie medal, but can win weekly prizes!
Join the 'Good Times Series' Club on Strava to stay connected and cheer on other Good Times runners.
Plan your route and run the 5K weekly on Tuesday or Wednesday of that week (Week 1 is April 21-22). Take part in our weekly challenges to add some fun to your run and you could win some awesome prizes!
Submit your weekly results before 11:59pm each Wednesday night online at >> http://yankeetiming.com/goodtimes2020/
Weekly results and challenge award winners will be announced on Friday mornings. Results from all weekly 5K's will be available on the iResultsLive platform and weekly challenge award winners will be announced on the Good Times 5K Series Facebook page.
Is it different? Yes. Will it be just as fun? Absolutely... and a side benefit, if you used to run the Good Times Series, but moved away, it's time to run it again! Remember to share your photos throughout the series on social media by using #GoodTimesSpring20
