Bill Kinnersley, club member and former president, likes to travel to the smaller, less Big Show 5Ks at least monthly in the Topeka - KC area.  Many of these have under 200 participants and they all have lots of local color.  runLawrence will publish Bill's reviews of these races and perhaps they will encourage others to travel to and enjoy the unique qualities of each of these events.
