About the Bobcat Scorcher 5K
The course runs through the streets around Bluffton High School, where the race starts and finishes. It is described as fast, which usually means flat pavement with few turns to slow you down. The race benefits the school's cross country team and a pair of local student scholarship funds, so the connection to the school is more than just the parking lot.
Packet pickup the evening before is at a local running store in Bluffton, which is a convenient stop if you want to avoid the morning rush. The start is at the high school, so parking and the finish line are in the same place.
