It was a tough decision that came down to brown or navy. I’ve been a freak for brown lately, but was ultimately swayed by public opinion when I posed the question to my Facebook friends — what color should the Her Times 5K shirts be this year?

Navy, it is, ladies.

In other Her Times 5K news, we’ll also be giving away reusable shopping bags (like the ones from last year) to the first 400 women registered. We did run out of bags last year, so if you want one…preregister!

Race date is Saturday, Oct. 1.

An application can be found here. Or you can register online here.

GUYS — who wants to help road marshal & cheer the ladies on? Send an email to me at hertimes5K@timesnews.com if you can work from 7:30/8 a.m. till about 10:30 a.m.
