About the Arkema 5K Race & One Mile Fun Run
The 5K course runs with real elevation changes, no switchbacks, so the hills hit you straight on. The one-mile course is gentler and aimed at younger runners and families. Both distances support local emergency services and community organizations in Chatham, with every participant getting a vote on which local group receives a share of the proceeds.
Race-morning registration is available, though it is worth signing up ahead of time. The awards spread is wide, covering age groups for runners and walkers separately, plus team categories. A cash bounty is on the table for anyone who can break either course record, both of which have stood for well over a decade.
