The 10K and 5K races take you through the charming Myers Park neighborhood, while the 1-mile race is a fun out-and-back on Franklin Blvd. New this year is a course change to the 5K which takes you through Cascades Park in the final mile.
The 1-mile race kicks off at 7:30 a. m. , followed by the 10K and 5K races at 8 a.
m. Finishers of all three races will get a special finisher’s medal. Prizes will be awarded to the overall male and female winners in the 1-mile race.
