It seems that 5K races are a popular trend lately. Just try to count the ones that occur in and around the Binghamton area each year.

There are many reasons why 5K races continue to be popular. First of all, it's a great way to keep your healthy lifestyle going. It's also a good way to join up with family and friends for a fun event. Maybe you are looking to beat your best time or have your eye on the prize, coming in first place! Whatever the reason, it can be summed up in one 3 letter word - FUN!

Last year, we joined up with staff from our sister radio stations from Utica, and put on the Insane Inflatable 5K at the New York State Fairgrounds. I had no idea of how it works, but when we arrived and got the day going, I was thoroughly amazed at how well it is put together and how much fun it was.

Even though we promoted large inflatables, I obviously was not aware at just how big they really are, and everyone who participated, really enjoyed running, walking, bouncing and rolling through them. Get yourself signed up for a wave or get a team together! It's not a race, it's just a fun, bouncing 5K. The best thing about our Insane Inflatable is, you get to sign up for the wave time you want from the available times. If you're not an early morning type of person, sign up for a later wave! The first wave kicks off at 8:45pm and the last one begins at 12 Noon.
