About the Chargers 5K
The course starts and finishes on a college campus, winding through tree-lined streets past campus buildings. It is a road course, relatively contained, with the surroundings doing most of the work. The race benefits students at the campus where it runs, so the connection between the course and the cause is literal.
Packet pickup is held the evening before the race at the Arts and Technology Building on campus. A kids activity area runs alongside the main event, and a shorter walk option shares the morning. No pets are permitted on course.
