ATFS! Garage Sale 5K

ATFS! Garage Sale 5K is run in Auburn, Washington, on May 1, 2027. The event offers a single distance, a 5K (3.1 miles) on the road with a 9:00 AM start. No elevation gain is listed for the course.

A May 5K on pavement is a straightforward target, whether you are covering the distance for the first time or looking for a fast time early in the season. If you want to race it, a few weeks of short intervals, such as repeats of half a mile at a hard but controlled effort, plus one steady run per week, will sharpen you nicely. On the day, warm up with ten minutes of easy jogging so the first mile does not feel like a shock, and hold something back for the final stretch rather than emptying the tank in the opening quarter mile.
