2019 - Run For Holland 5K
2019 distances
Running
10K Run
The course is made up of three loops; all of which give runners a unique and beautiful view of the downtown spruce pine area. The course is all paved and has some pretty “exciting” elevation changes. 1. The first leg goes through the gorgeous English Woods neighborhood and hopefully the beautiful neighborhood will take you mind off of the challenging hills that await you there. (New 2015 – You will be turning left to stay on English Rd in English Woods and turning right on Greenwood Rd) 2. After looping back runners will head across the Highland Avenue bridge into historic downtown Spruce Pine. The course goes along the shops on “upper street” and then heads to 19E then to Beaver Creek Rd. 3. On Beaver Creek Rd runners will go to a turn around spot located around 1/2 mile and return back down. When getting back to the head of Beaver Creek Rd runners will run to the left of a chain fence to return to oak avenue where they will turn right to Elm St. 4. Elm Street will merge back into Oak Avenue and runners will proceed then to Locust St “lower street” parallel to the train tracks and river through the Blacksmith Festival booths. 5. Finally the last loop will end in the beautiful Riverside Park which runs along the North Toe River. 6. The course finishes in the park officially at 6.2 miles.
