Got my @econ5k.bsky.social T-shirt, #EconSky, and you should too if you're an econ runner! I hope to see you in Philly in January #ASSA2026 sites.google.com/view/econ5k/...

I just ordered my shirt for this year's Econ5k! sites.google.com/view/econ5k/... Looking forward to running a distribution of 5ks over the course of December. @econ5k.bsky.social

I hope you're all ready for some running this December! #ECON5k @inaganguli.bsky.social @dbergstresser.bsky.social @sandrahgoff.bsky.social @yanarodgers.bsky.social

!! 2025 ECON5k AWARDS !! youtu.be/0miW6gUyek4

beautiful day and city for running!

whoa

Group run at ASSA meetings: if you're interested in joining a group run around SF tomorrow, a group will be meeting at 1pm SF time at the NE corner of Market and Montgomery, and going from there. Likely that route will involve running along the Embarcadero, pace tbd by group consensus

very cool

Here’s my attempt for an age group award for the #Econ5k. Looking forward to running together with #EconSky friends at #ASSA2025 in SF this week :) @econ5k.bsky.social #runaroundprinceton

Remember to submit your #Econ5K results, and you can still get a T-shirt! Look who else has one 👀

Quick reminder: post your #ECON5k results by December 31! link below sites.google.com/view/econ5k

fast!

got inspired by the nice weather today in Chicago to do the #econ5k #econsky @econ5k.bsky.social Like rock climbing much better! 5.10 > 5k

!

Just submitted my entry for the “artistic merit” award for this year’s #Econ5k. We ran the shape of the Liberty Bell in Philly this morning. A bit more than 5k but hopefully top marks for creativity. Thnx @econ5k.bsky.social for the incentive to do this :)

wow!

Look what arrived today, it’s my 2025 #Econ5k tshirt! Now I just need to run a decent time. Thanks @econ5k.bksy.social for your community-building efforts :)

Time for our dept's annual entry into the @econ5k.bsky.social group category! With @dbergstresser.bsky.social, @owenozier.bsky.social, Pam Jakiela, and Jon Bakija, what we lack in number of participants this year we make up for in style!

I have a blast running the @econ5k.bsky.social every year (a few in a row now with @dbergstresser.bsky.social) Thanks as always to the orgs; I feel this is really now a full-fledged institution!! 🏃🏻🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏽‍♂️
