5K ideas

I'm setting up a fundraiser 5K and I want it to be fun and something that will set it apart from other runs. What are some ideas that you guys can think of that would be fun for a 5K? It's to support the National Alopecia Areata Foundation and its going to be called the Tortoise and the Hair run/walk and I was thinking of everyone wearing crazy wigs or hats. That's my only idea so far. TIA

    My favorite 5ks are the ones with beer gardens at the finish.  Nothing better than refilling your electrolytes with a cold one.  The ones by me have local craft microbreweries - so if you have those by you, they may be able to donate to the cause.

    Some of the halfs I've done have had fun things on the course like handing out hamburgers, or a sprinkler run-through (like a carwash, but for people).  I don't know how feasible those would be for shorter races though.

    Playing off of previous posters idea, and it might be over the top and not even possible, but maybe at the half way point you could have a Salon station or something where people could get Free haircuts/trims and you could donate the hair to make wigs or just get a cut so the people who have this condition know that they are really being supported. You would need a ton of chairs even folding chairs and a lot of stylists to volunteer. It wouldnt be manditory thing but something fun and would definitely be something to make it stand out.
