About the MINERVASTRONG Memorial 5K Glow Run
The race starts and finishes on the high school's football track, which gives the start line a distinct stadium feel. From there the course heads out through surrounding neighborhoods and a park before looping back. It runs in the evening, after dark, so the glow element is not just a name.
The evening schedule builds up gradually, with a kids' run and a walk preceding the main event. Awards go deep into the age groups, so competitive runners have plenty to race for. The finish brings everyone back to the track.
