About this race

We're excited to introduce the ✨ Glow in the Park 5K & 1 Mile✨ (after dark!) which will take place at John Hunt Cross Country Park. 

In recent years funding has been cut for the Redstone Army 10 Miler Team. This event directly benefits Team Redstone's entry fee and travel to the Army 10 Miler in Washington DC. This race runs along the nationally renown John Hunt XC Park course which features superb footing. The course is 100% grass but manicured to provide fast times and great footing. Average temperatures for race day are low of 65F, high of 85F. 

Packet pickup will be at John Hunt Cross Country Park on Saturday evening from 5-6:45pm.
