St. Patrick's Day 2017: Couch Potato '0.5K' Saturday in Fredericksburg
This isn't your Runner's World 5K. It's not even a 5K. But it is a crazy "kind-of" race that's expected to attract, ah, creative entrants.
FREDERICKSBURG, VA — So what, exactly, is a Couch Potato Run? After all, a couch potato generally is thought of as a person who would much prefer kicking back on the sofa and watching whatever as opposed to, you know, running.
Well, this is a 5K that's not a 5K, if that helps.
It's a "0.5K" put on by Adventure Brewing Company-South, 3300 Dill Smith Drive, and it's being held 9-11 a.m. Saturday to benefit area fire and rescue units.
