About the Running Hot Clayton Fire 5K
The race runs through Clayton and benefits the local fire department, which also serves as the start and finish. The course itself is not described in detail, but the connection to the fire station gives the morning a working-town feel rather than a park-race one. Post-race, the celebration happens back at the firehouse.
Bib pickup is race morning at the Clayton Fire Department, wrapping up shortly before the gun. If you are picking up that morning, arriving with time to spare is worth it.
