Course Information

May I run with headphones?

Yes, you may run with headphones. We just ask that you leave one ear bud out or have the volume low enough to hear important announcements at the start/finish and volunteer/course marshal directions on the course!

May my dog run with me?

Yes - as long your dog is kept on a leash which is short enough to not interfere with the other runners.  Of course, we know you'll respectfully clean up after your dog even if it is in the middle of your run.  :)

May I run with a stroller?

Yes.  There is a gravel section of this course which is on an incline (going up and coming down.)  Please be prepared with an appropriate style of stroller for use on gravel.

May I walk this course?

Yes!  Many people enjoying walking the 5k event.  There are some sections of this course where runners are passing in both directions.  Due to this, please be mindful when walking and keep your group of walkers to no more than 2 people wide and STAY TO THE RIGHT side of the path!

DISTANCE

This is a 5k course.  That means it is 3.1 miles.  It is measured multiple times with a fixed diameter wheeled device.  The course is measured by cutting tangents at each corner.  This means your GPS device may report that you covered more than 3.1 miles distance as you likely weaved in an out of others and did NOT stick to the inside of each corner.

RESTROOMS
Port-a-johns are located in the Expo Area near the start and finish in addition to: 1/2 mile, 1.2 mile, & 2.2 mile.

WATER
All 3W Events maintain a cup-free finish area.  Bring your own water bottle.   At the finish line, there will be no cups.  You can leave your water bottle at the finish/start area or in your car, as parking is very close to the finish line.  There will be water for refilling your personal bottle in the expo.

There is no water station on the 5k Course.

COURSE SURFACE
The majority of this trail is on CONCRETE with several wooden foot bridges and intermittent crushed gravel.  ALL of the course is at least 8 feet wide.

COURSE CUT OFF 
Course cut off is 1 hour and 10 minutes. Official finish line and expo will close at 10:10 AM.  This is a 22min 30sec per mile pace. (We really think you can do it!!!)

GPS TRACKING
Friends near and far can send FREE cheers and track your progress when you use the RaceJoy App - INCLUDED with your registration!

Course Markings

The course is marked with two materials: Cones and Signs.

Signs are posted on the right hand side of the pathway - always look to the RIGHT side of the path when needing direction.  Signs are 18"x12" Coroplast on H Stakes (That means they are near to the ground, not in the air.)  Signs are posted BEFORE a decision point.  If you come to a fork in the path and don't see a sign, you probably passed the signage which is behind you on the right side of the pathway.

Cones are used to block pathways you should not take.  Cones are 2" high and colored safety orange or safey yellow.  Again, they are on the GROUND.  Please look down to see if a path has been blocked by small cones.
