If running a 5K is one of your goals for 2012, then one race I can definitely recommend to help you achieve your goal is Chicago's Elvis is Alive 5K.
I like this race because it is in the evening, which can be cooler if temperatures are hot during the day, and it is during the week, on a Thursday, which is fun.
The race is also a blast with people running in Elvis costumes and a post-race Elvis-style party with Elvis tunes and plenty of beer.
