About the Happy Camper 5k at Emrick Lake Campground & Resort
The course winds through the grounds of a lakeside campground, so the surroundings feel more like a weekend getaway than a road race. Expect gravel paths, trees, and the kind of terrain you find between campsites rather than pavement. Dogs on leashes are welcome, and so are strollers, with the field split into separate waves to keep things moving smoothly for everyone.
