Race Course Map

Beginning and ending at beautiful Merrill Park, the entire course for the 5k and 10k takes place entirely on the greenbelt.  The course is a mix of paved and unpaved pathway.  The out-and-back course has very limited hills and elevation gain/loss.   Race map image coming soon!

Inclement Weather

Rain may be in the forecast and though we're hoping to get some of that rain before race day to help clear the air, we're also hoping for it to be dry and pleasant the morning of the race. In any event, the run will be held rain or shine! In the event of any of the following, the race will be canceled: severe weather storms, severe lightning showers, flooding affects transportation, or the governor declares a weather emergency and asks people to stay off the roads.
