Course Description
The 5k kicks off at the Metropolitan Baptist Church where you will head South on 72nd Ave for approx. 0.8 miles before heading West on a fast, flat stretch of Sheridan Street to North University Ave where you will head one block North to the final leg that will bring you Northeast along Davie Rd Extension for a triumphant finish right back where you started at Metropolitan Baptist Church. It’s a great loop for personal bests and strollers alike!
Stay hydrated along the way! Look out for the three water stations. One just as you turn onto Sheridan street, the next one as you turn onto Davie Rd Extension, and the final one just when you need it.
Course marshals will be stationed at each turn to cheer you on and ensure that you don't lose your way!
