About the RMRR September 5k/10k
The course heads out along a paved and packed-gravel path, then turns back the same way. Both distances share the route, just with different turnaround points, so the footing stays consistent throughout. The gravel is smooth enough that road shoes work fine.
The handicap start for the longer distance is worth understanding before you show up. Slower runners go first, faster runners last, spread across a window of time, so the field tends to converge near the finish. When you pick up your number, someone will help you find the right wave for your pace. Parking at the fields is plentiful.
