About the RMRR August 5km and picnic
The course runs on crusher and fine dirt along the Highline Canal, looping around DeKoevend Park. The surface is packed and smooth for trail, so the footing is forgiving, and the canal path keeps things shaded and relatively flat. This is a club race with a handicap scoring system, though this particular edition uses a mass start instead.
The start is at the pavilion beside the Goodson Recreation Center, with parking at the far west end of that lot. Plan to arrive early enough to walk over, sort out registration, and warm up. After the race, there is a potluck BBQ; the club provides grilled food and non-alcoholic drinks, and runners are asked to bring a side dish, salad, or dessert to share.
