5K COURSE OVERVIEW:
This course covers 3.1 miles and is relatively flat. It is a two-loop course that starts and ends on the track, but the route also features a wooded trail, grassy areas, crushed gravel, and paved surfaces. As such, this course is not suitable for strollers, and for the safety of all participants and functionality of races, dogs are not welcome during either the 5K or Little Lizard 1K.
