5K Races?

[closetalker11.livejournal.com]

Hi there everyone --

I did some lite googling on this, but didn't turn up what I was trying to find.

I am wondering if any of you know where I can find a list of open 5K races in the general area. I am specifically looking for races that are very friendly to first-timers and people who are generally not very good ( ... like me!). Bonus points if it's a charitable endeavor. Is there a better community for this question? Is there a comprehensive listing anywhere? Maybe you happen to know of one coming up?

Thanks in advance!!
