About the Dixie Dash 5K & Kid's Sprint
The course runs on a paved trail through Coldstream Park, on the northwest side of Lexington. The organizers describe it as flat and fast, so expect a surface that suits most paces and shoes. The race benefits the local Ronald McDonald House, and there are team prizes alongside the usual age-group awards.
The start is at the Legacy Trail trailhead at Coldstream Park. Post-race, there is food and a social atmosphere around the finish area. Packet pickup details have not been announced yet, so worth keeping an eye on the race website closer to the event.
