About the HAPPY FEET RUN/WALK 5K
The course runs through Heritage Park, and the setting does most of the work. The route is scenic, and the crowd skews toward families, casual walkers, and people with dogs on leashes. Pace is genuinely beside the point, and the charitable purpose behind it gives the whole thing a different feel than a typical local road race.
Light refreshments are out after the finish, and awards go to top finishers. The start area is a park shelter, which makes for an easy gathering point. Check-in opens before the gun, so there is time to settle in before things get moving.
