About the Lions Roar for Fitness 5k/2.5k Challenge
The course runs around Lake Minnequa, giving runners a waterside setting for the whole race. There is a shorter distance option aimed at younger kids, so the field tends to skew toward families with children of different ages. Age group awards go fairly deep, which means a lot of runners have something to run toward beyond the finish line.
Both distances share the same start area near the lake. Registration is available on race morning before the gun goes off, so you have options if you decide late. Awards happen on race day after the field finishes, and age group winners are recognized across a wide range of divisions.
