About the Back To School 5K / 10K
The course runs out and back along the coastal highway, right along the water. It is not scored, so there are no age group results or placement pressure. A finish line clock is up at the end if you want to know your time, but the morning has the feel of a group run more than a race.
Packet pickup runs through the week before at Runners Depot, with both the Davie and Fort Lauderdale locations open. On race morning, pickup and registration are available before the start for anyone who did not get there earlier.
