About the Beethoven's Fifth 5K - April 3, 2027
The race benefits the Ashland Symphony Orchestra, and the theme runs through the whole morning. It starts and finishes at a church on the edge of town, and the course is a straightforward out-and-back on local roads. The terrain is gentle, and the route gives you a clear sense of the surrounding neighborhood.
Registration opens at the church on race morning before the start. The church serves as the central hub for the day, so there is no separate venue to track down for packet pickup or the post-race gathering.
