About the Friends of Heart 5K
The course runs near the Fleet Feet store in Jackson, on a certified route. It is flat enough to draw walkers alongside runners, and it counts toward the Jackson Road Runners points series, so expect some familiar local faces chasing standings alongside those just there for a morning out.
Packet pickup is handled through Fleet Feet Jackson. The start area is right across from the store, so there is easy access before the gun. Awards go out shortly after the field finishes, keeping the morning moving.
