_ The 2018 5 Dollar 5K:
The $5- 5k is designed as a low-key race for the athletes who want to run a tune-up race to prepare for their targeted event, the novice who may be intimidated by the larger events and runners/walkers who want an event to test themselves without breaking the bank.
What you get:
- A 5k course that is accurate and well-marked
- Aid stations on the course and finish area that have water and Gatorade
- Mile Markers
- Clock at the finish line
- Accurate finishing times posted at the event and uploaded to the TCTC website ASAP
- Support for all levels of runners or walkers
What you don’t get:
- T-Shirts – don’t you have a closetful already?
- Food at the finish area, unless a local establishment wants to provide something – any takers?
- Verbal splits, unless we have a plethora of volunteers
- Medals or trophies – we may have gift certificates that are awarded based on varying criteria
- Where:
- The events will occur at Jamison Park, which is located next to Meadowlark School (401 Meadowlark Dr.) The course is a flat out and back on the Muddy Creek Greenway that starts at Jamison Park, turns around at Robinhood Rd and returns to the Park. This is a PR course for the competitive and nice easy course for the novice.
