My First 5k Race

My Mom and Dad and I were on the way to the first 5k race I was going to run and we were blocked off by an police car. My Mom and I were already late, so we hopped out the car and had to run a half a mile to get to the race.When we got to the tent, we signed up for the race, put our numbers on our shirts and put the tags on our shoes.They gave us bags with all kinds of stuff in them. We asked a women at a tent if we can we leave our stuff there to watch it, and she said yes. We dropped it off and went to the starting line when this loud horn went off, and we started. I made my way towards the front. When I was running it was relaxing and very long, but all worth it. After I finished with a time of 27:48 seconds I saw my Dad at the finish line with my dog. I got a bagel and a water and then my mom finished. She got the same things and I did. We went back and got our bags and went home. I will never forget my first 5k race.
