Course Description:
The 5K course will begin at Haughton High School (in the football parking lot), travel south on N Hazel St, turning west on E Jefferson Ave and making the loop back onto E Taylor St traveling east. The course will then continue east onto E. McKinley Ave to an out and back turnaround, then traveling back to N Hazel St ending in the Haughton High football parking lot where the race started. The route is very flat and fast with a net zero elevation gain so expect some PR's!
