About the Nitty Gritty Costume 5K
The course starts and ends at the local YMCA campus and winds through a residential neighborhood to the east. Costumes are part of the deal, and there is a best-dressed award for whoever shows up in the most creative outfit.
After the race, there is an all-you-can-eat grits spread in the hospitality area. It is the kind of post-race spread that gives the event its name, and most people stick around for it.
