Course description: 

Get ready for an exciting 5K race in "THE GEM" of West Volusia located in beautiful Lake Helen. Home of our HOMETOWN HUSKIES at Ivy Hawn Charter School of the Arts where our road race begins and ends.  Our scenic course offers a mix of suburban, city, and park views, with moderate hills through the community of Lake Helen. 

The 5K Course starts at Ivy Hawn school parking lot, and merges out onto the roads from Pleasant Street, passing a thriving part of Lake Helen, Blake Park and the Equestrian Center towards East Michigan Avenue. As you follow East Michigan Avenue around, this rode becomes N. Orange Avenue as you pass the lake (Lake Helen) on your left. When you reach Barbe St. you will have completed your FIRST MILE, go left and merge onto Tangerine Avenue towards Lakeview Drive.  You will turn left on Lakeview Drive then turn right on Connecticut Avenue.  You will go two (2) blocks and turn left on Euclid Avenue.  Following N. Euclid Avenue for 5 blocks turning right on West Michigan Avenue after 3 blocks, you will have completed MILE 2.  Along this part of the course you will have a couple quick turns as you complete your final mile towards the finish, turning left on South Summit Avenue for two blocks.  Turn left on Delaware Avenue W for one block then turn right on South Volusia Avenue for two blocks as it bends to your left onto West Washington  Avenue for one block. Turning right on S. High Street follow towards West Ohio Avenue for about 3 blocks then turn right onto South Lakeview Drive and and complete MILE 3, you are almost there.  The final stretch towards the finish-line is just a few feet ahead, turning into the school entrance and crossing the finish-line.
