Plenty of FREE parking at Town Center at Cobb!

 

RACE START TIMES

Both the 5k and the 15k start at 730am sharp! Please plan on arriving no later than 7 am as roads will start closing around the mall then.

 

 
 
PARKING

 Plenty of free parking right at the start/finish! PLEASE PARK IN FRONT OF BELK AND MACY'S (lower level) OR YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT UNTIL THE RACE IS OVER.

 

 
WATER/RESTROOMS
 
In addition to the start/finish, we will have water at the midpoint of the 5K. The 15K will also have water at approximately 2.7, 3.7, 4.8, 6.2, 7.1, and 8.1 miles. Portojohns are available at the start, and there will be portajohns near the midpoint of the 15K.
 
 
TIME LIMIT
 
There is a 2 hr, 15 min cutoff for the 15K.... in the interest of safety of our runners and out of respect to the community that is kind enough to let us close roads, etc., participants must maintain a 15 minute per mile pace or they may be asked to complete the race on the sidewalk and observe regular pedestrian laws at all intersections along the route. Roads will open and aid stations will be closed down based on that pace

 

AWARDS 


Awards will be given to the overall male and female, overall masters male and female, and the top 3 in age groups from 14 and under to 70+ in both races.
