Event Description

Please join us for the Inaugural “Red Top 5K Road Race at LakePoint” Presented by Advance Rehabilitation Physical Therapy and LakePoint Sports!  Race day is Saturday morning, July 24th, at 8:30 AM.

Come and be a part of this amazing inaugural 5K that follows the new LakePoint Parkway that connects the LakePoint Sports Complex to Red Top Mountain Rd. Departing from the LakePoint Sports South Campus, you’ll get to experience the tremendous views of the surrounding North Georgia mountains as this brand-new race route flows along one of the newest and most scenic roadways in all of Northern GA.  The challenge comes early with an initial quick climb that will take you up to a flat 2 mile stretch of racing! But what goes up, must come down… as you’ll enjoy a nice decline straight to the finish!  Runners and Walkers of all levels are welcome and this is a Rain or Shine event. And after the race and awards presentation, plan to stay on LakePoint campus because your race bibb & race t-shirt will be your free complimentary ticket to watch some of the top youth athletes in the country!
