Five Dollar 5K

The $5- 5k is designed as a low-key race for the athletes who want to run a tune-up race to prepare for their targeted event, the novice who may be intimidated by the larger events and runners/walkers who want an event to test themselves without breaking the bank.

What you get:

• A 5k course that is accurate and well-marked
• Aid stations on the course and finish area that have water and Gatorade
• Mile Markers 
• Clock at the finish line
• Accurate finishing times posted at the event and uploaded to the TCTC website ASAP
• Support for all levels of runners or walkers

What you don’t get:

• T-Shirts – don’t you have a closetful already?
• Food at the finish area, unless a local establishment wants to provide something – any takers?
• Verbal splits, unless we have a plethora of volunteers
• Medals or trophies – we may have gift certificates that are awarded based on varying criteria

Where:
The events will occur at Jamison Park, which is located next to Meadowlark School (401 Meadowlark Dr.)  The course is a flat out and back on the Muddy Creek Greenway that starts at Jamison Park, turns around at Robinhood Rd and returns to the Park. This is a PR course for the competitive and nice easy course for the novice.
