Start Location
The event start line will be located at 1201 Main Street in front of lululemon. This section of Main Street will be closed to vehicles during the event. We will have volunteers on site available to assist in packet pick-up and race day registration.

Course
Both the 5K and 10K course head north on Main Street making a right turn onto Civic Drive. Participants will then make a right turn on Broadway and proceed south, continuing until our turnaround point that is just short of Rudgear Road. Our runners/walkers will make a sharp U-turn, heading back north on Broadway. They will then make a left-hand turn onto Newell, and a right-hand turn onto Main Street, followed by either:

▪ 5k distance – a right onto Broadway Plaza toward the finish, or
▪ 10k distance – continues straight on Main St. to complete a second loop.

View a map of the course here.

**Important to note – Due to the limitations in road closures and for your safety, walkers will only be able to participate in the 5K distance.

Future Marathoners
Our children’s fun run is free to all children 9 years and under. It will start immediately after the last walker/runner crosses the finish line. This is an estimated started time around 9:30 a.m. We ask that parents take their children to the finish line where volunteers will direct them on where to start.

The Children’s start line will be located in front of the finish line to allow for a 100yd dash across the line where each child will receive a participation medal.

Aid Station
Our Whole Foods Market aid station will be providing water on the corner of Newell Avenue and S. Broadway. Participants will be able to access it for both the 5K and 10K when turning left onto Newell Avenue, after the turnaround on S. Broadway.
