About the Running Scared 5K/13K - St. George
The course runs inside Rock Creek Park and stays genuinely flat the whole way, which makes it a reasonable shot at a personal best. Surroundings are park-side, and the layout is open enough that spectators can actually watch from several spots along the route. There are self-serve water stations spaced out along the course, so if you plan to push hard, bringing your own hydration is worth considering.
Packet pickup happens on race morning, opening about an hour before the first wave goes off. No need to make a separate trip the day before.
