About the NNS 5K
The course runs through Victory Landing Park and is described as flat and fast, so expect a straightforward route with no real climbing. There is a kids' fun run option alongside the main distance, and the race benefits the local community directly through registration fees and donations.
After the race, the park stays busy with music, family activities, and vendors, so there is reason to stick around. The post-race scene has the feel of a neighborhood gathering more than a quick pack-up-and-go finish.
