Are there any benefits of an AM jog the morning of a 5k race at night?
If so, how far should you go?
I'm running enough miles (75) where this wouldn't be a problem to "recover" from.

The benefit of an AM jog is that you need less time to warm up before the 5k race. Go as many miles as need be probably 2 or 3 to get the blood flowing and than shut it down.
If you have a race at noon, is it more beneficial to get up at 6:30 or 7:00 AM to go for a 3 mile run or to sleep until 9:30?
The reason I ask is because my coach used to make us get up early to do a "shake out" run and then I'd be tired as hell. I'd try to get to bed by 10 the night before, but it's hard when your body isn't used to going to bed until midnight. I always suspected our coach made us do the morning run so he could live vicariously through us while he jogged alongside us and that it wasn't to benefit our training at all.
