About the 2027 DPF 5K RUN/WALK
The course circles Zinn Park in downtown Anniston on certified road terrain. It is flat throughout, which makes it a course where you can push your pace if you want to, and the downtown surroundings give it some character. The race benefits a mentorship program that helps young men in the area pursue college, so there is a clear sense of purpose behind the morning.
Check-in opens well before the start and runs until shortly before gun time, with packet pickup handled during that window. Having your registration QR code ready speeds things along at the intake table.
