About the Crank & Boom Sprint For Scoops 3K & Kid's Dash

The course runs almost entirely on paved park trail through Wellington Park, with just a short stretch of mowed grass. The route is quite flat, with minimal elevation change overall. Start and finish are in the same spot, and a couple of hydration stations are set up along the way serving water.

Packet pickup runs the evening before the race at the Crank & Boom shop on Clays Mill Road, with a second pickup window at the park on race evening before the start. The race benefits a local hunger-relief organization, and Crank & Boom craft ice cream is at the finish for participants.
