About the Bite The Bullet 5k & 5 Miler
The course runs on the Little Miami Scenic Trail, a paved path that starts and finishes at Cartridge Brewing. The trail is flat the whole way, which makes it a good effort-measurer on road-shoe-friendly pavement. The brewery setting gives the finish area a distinct character, with cold beer waiting rather than a parking lot.
Parking is in a gravel lot just off the trail. Packet pickup and check-in happen race morning at the brewery. Post-race, there is beer at the finish, with a ticket included for runners who are of age.
