About the 1819 Mercantile 5k
The course starts at 1819 Mercantile, heads out to a main intersection, turns onto a highway, then swings onto a campground road before coming back the same way to the finish. It runs through open road in a small town setting, with a straightforward layout and no technical terrain to worry about.
Race proceeds go to a local organization called SHAC. The start and finish are both at 1819 Mercantile, so you end up right where you began, which makes it easy to find your group afterward.
