This is the standard 5K course McAlpine is known for. FOR THOSE WITH STROLLERS, HAVE NO FEAR (OF THE HILL), we've designed a stroller friendly tiny alteration in the course. We'll have people on the course to make that clear. Also note, the hill has been cleaned up and the ground is smoother than it has been in the past in case you want to test it out before the race.
We're super excited that you joined our race. We're looking forward to seeing you there!
