About the Heart of a Lion 5k
The course starts at a park off main street in downtown Taylorsville, right in front of the courthouse. The route runs through the downtown area, so the surroundings are familiar and walkable. Strollers are welcome, and dogs are not permitted on the course. The race benefits a local school's building fund, which gives the morning a clear purpose beyond the finish line.
