Event Safety
For a preview of the 5K course, please click here. This 5K course winds around the Big Meadows area at Highbanks Metro Park. It will be well-marked with volunteers in key positions to keep you on the right track, and a water station on the route that you will pass twice. There will also be a bicyclist leading the way. The course is on running/walking trails that are a mixture of paved asphalt, earthen trail, and hardpack crushed gravel. These paths are not closed to the public so be aware of your surroundings and be a good neighbor! Stay to the right at all times and watch for oncoming pedestrian traffic. If you are running and walking in a group please stay to the right and do not span the entire width of the path, to best allow any two-way traffic.
Participation with strollers is fine, all areas are traversable by stroller. Participation with pets, bicycles, hoverboards, etc., are all prohibited. Thank you for your cooperation!
