About the Calcutta Fire's Italian Festival Meatball Roll 5K & Walk
The course runs through a residential circle, past a couple of shopping plazas, by the fire department, and around a town hall before looping back. It is a road race with no significant elevation to worry about, and timing is by clock rather than chip, so this is a race where finishing order matters more than your exact split.
The race connects to an all-day Italian festival hosted by the fire department, so there is plenty of reason to stay after you finish. Bands, a beer trailer, and Italian food are all part of it, running well into the evening.
