About the Igniting Hope 5K
The course map is linked but not described, so the terrain and route are not something that can be pinned down here. What is clear is that the race is held in Wilmington, draws a broad range of paces, and is organized around a charitable mission supporting neighbors in need.
Bib pickup and same-day registration both happen on race morning at Saint Mark's High School, wrapping up just before the start. If you are coming from out of town, that central school location is easy to plan around.
