About the GCS Harvest Classic 5K
The course starts and finishes at the Gaston Christian School gym, keeping things simple and self-contained. It is a fundraiser for the school, so the crowd is mostly families and people connected to the place. The route stays close to campus, and the atmosphere reflects that.
Packet pickup runs the afternoon before at the school, with a second window on race morning before the start. Both options are at the same location where the race begins, so there is no extra driving around to figure out.
