Course Information
The 5K course is a Peachtree Road Race qualifier. USATF certified. Course number: GA18039WC
We're in North Georgia, and there's not much that anyone can call flat & fast. So yes, there are some hills, but it's nothing crazy, and you'll be so busy having fun, that you won't even notice.
All participants are encouraged to bring their own hydration on course (i.e. water bottle, handheld, vest, etc.) To limit contact there will be no water station. Water will be provided at the finish.
Awards and Goodies
We've got a great shirt for registered participants, guaranteed with registrations by 4/20.
Great Custom award medals in both races as follows:
Top 3 Overall M/F
Top 3 Overall Masters M/F (40 years+)
Top 3 Overall Grand Masters M/F (50 years+)
Top 3 Overall Senior Masters M/F (60 years+)
Top 3 in each of the normal 5 year age groups 10 & Under through 75+.
