About the Able2 Guts & Grit 5k & 1-Miler
The course runs through Eldridge Park, which gives the route a park setting rather than a road-race feel. The event supports Able2, an organization focused on people with disabilities, and that mission shapes the morning: strollers and hand cycles share the course with runners, and the pace of the crowd reflects that.
Race-morning bib pickup and registration are both available, so there is no pressure to sort everything out beforehand. The shorter distance goes off shortly after the main race, keeping the two groups mostly together at the start area before they split off on their own routes.
