5K Route Map

Our 5K run/walk will start and finish in the parking lot in front of the White Hall Pavilion.  The route will loop the lake & park and have a short out and back on the access road.  Runners/walkers are asked to be especially vigilant and alert on the access road and run against the flow of traffic in  both directions as the road will not be closed for the race.  There will be a water stop along the route that runners will pass by twice.
