Some couples choose to kick off their big day with a group 5K. Sometimes guests join them.<\/p>\n

During their wedding weekend in September in Nantucket, Mass., Larry Giannechini, 34, and Pat Knise, 35, held many traditional activities. They staged a welcome dinner. Their wedding was at a private club with a ceremony and a reception. Brunch was the next day.<\/p>\n

But there was another item on the agenda: a group run the morning of the wedding. \u201cBecause we are runners, and a lot of our friends are runners, we thought it would be fun,\u201d Mr. Giannechini said of the 5K (or 3.1 miles). \u201cWe also wanted to get everyone\u2019s blood pumping the morning of the ceremony.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also wanted to diversify what we were doing so it wasn\u2019t just socializing at a bar each day,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The couple, who live in Manhattan, rented shuttle buses to take wedding guests to Sanford Farm, a beautiful but more remote part of the island. \u201cIt\u2019s somewhere you wouldn\u2019t go as a tourist,\u201d Mr. Giannechini said. \u201cWe thought we would give everyone a reason to get out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Seventy-five people participated in the run \u2014 well, some walked \u2014 while another 20 showed up to cheer them on. The three fastest female runners and the three fastest male runners won prizes such as medals engraved by a local artisan, a bottle opener from the Whaling Museum, and a book by Elin Hilderbrand, a popular writer in Nantucket<\/a>.<\/p>\n
