The 5k course will be on the roads again this year! The course will start between the Cadillac boat launch on Chestnut Street and the Chris Blackburn Skate Park on Chestnut Street. The course will then run west towards Kenwood Elementary and turn left on Newland Street. The route will then turn left again by Cheryls Landing on Lake Cadillac and continue on Chestnut Street to the finish in the Cadillac Boat Launch parking lot (where race registration and packet pick up takes place) on the corner of Lake Street and Chestnut Street. The route will also feature music, live band, local school drumlines, and water stations. This course is very, very fast!
