Race Day Countdown!
Note the new start and finish area!!
We were unable to reach an agreement in time with the Airborne and Special Operations Museum so we had to move to a new location. We were fortunate that other local businesses stepped up to keep this race on track!!! Huge thanks to North South Brewing for the use of their ample space !!
The course is pretty similar to previous years. You'll start at North South Brewing then turn left and go up the "hill", around Arsenal Park, then down Hay Street all the way to N. Cool Springs where you'll hop on the Linear Park Trail. From there it's a dash towards Festival Park then back to North South Brewing. Map will be posted soon. Keep in mind that there is construction in the area and the final route may change. We will absolutely keep you all informed. It's gonna be great!!
Race Medal!! BOLO soon!!!
