About the BACtober Fest 5K
The course runs on roads through Hanson Park, starting on Albin Road. It is a straightforward pavement route where pace groups tend to form early and stay together. Age group awards go deep, so there is real racing happening at the front and through the middle of the field.
After the race, the celebration moves to Gergler Field, with food, live music, lawn games, and a beer tent on site. Bib pickup runs the evening before at Hanson Park, with race-morning pickup available as well.
