About the GINKGO GO! 5K Run/Walk
The course winds through Wilmore's streets, and the ginkgo trees are the main thing you notice. The town is known for them, and in the fall they are hard to miss. It reads like a neighborhood run, not a track race, and the pace of the thing matches that.
The race opens the Ginkgo Galore festival, so the town is already coming alive when you finish. An art show, a vendor marketplace, a film festival, scavenger hunts, climbing activities, and family entertainment are all part of the same day. Worth staying around for.
