10K Run and Kids Run. The 10K will start promptly at 8:00 a.m.; the Kids Run will start at 9:00 a.m., while the 10K is finishing.


Course


The 10K race is on a gently rolling, certified course located entirely within the scenic Country Estates subdivision. Runners will be challenged by the last 1 1/2 miles of the course, which is a constant, slight-but-steady upgrade. You may occasionally see the local deer population, also out for their morning run. The course for the Kids Run is a loop of 0.86 miles.
