Awards:          
Awards will given to the top 1-3 overall runners for the 5k and the 10k events.

Course:                
This spectator-friendly 5k course, designed in 2012, features challenging terrain as it winds its way around GA’s athletic fields. Though it starts in the paved walkways through the Preserve, the course quickly switches to grass and wooded paths as it enters Sisters’ Woods for two hilly loops. Runners complete the final lap of the upper fields before a dramatic finish with cheering spectators inside Carey Stadium. Those choosing the 10k option, will do it twice!

Fun Walk: This is a chance for families with little ones to finish a mile around the Carey Stadium Track!  Remix Fitness will be leading an energizing, music-filled warm up and cool down in the center of the track.  A perfect way to get your heart pumping before Preserve Day!
