*Please note, east/west MTS bus traffic will be crossing both courses at Broadway. To ensure the safety of our runners and avoid any unnecessary interruptions along the route, we will be alternating the course between 15th & 16th at C Street, one block before Broadway. This will not impact the distances of either race.

Course Information

**Please note that a 15 minute mile pace or faster is required for both the 5k and 15k race distances. A 15 min. mile pace is roughly four miles per hour, equivalent to a very brisk walk.

As a safety measure for our runners and because roads must be re-opened in a timely manner, we will enforce a minimum pace of 15 min./mile. Anyone who has not made it to Morley Field and Florida street by 8:15am, will be given the option to be transported back to the start/finish area or moved up on the course.

If you fall below this pace, the race organizers can no longer guarantee course support. Aid Stations, medical support, portable toilets, and road closures will begin to become unavailable to participants. The local police and race organizers will ask you to either move up onto the sidewalk or require you to be transported further up on course to catch up to the 15 min. per mile group.
