About the Golden Harvest Run For Rec 5k
The route runs through downtown Auburn Hills, starting and finishing outside Common Roots Cafe, a local coffee shop that anchors the whole morning. The course takes in the streets around downtown, so there is some urban scenery rather than trails or parkland. Proceeds go toward the city's recreation center, which gives the race a neighborly purpose.
