About the Flutter Fest 5k
The Flutter Fest 5k is held at Baggett Park, a park setting in Mechanicsville, and benefits The Butterfly Effect Project, which works to make mental health services accessible to people facing financial or systemic barriers. The course details were not published, but the park location suggests a manageable, accessible route.
Packet pickup runs race morning at the park before the start, so there is no separate trip the day before. Age group awards cover a wide spread of age ranges, from younger runners through masters.
