About the Show Your Stripes 5K & Fun Walk - Special Gameboard Edition
The course runs through Nay Aug Park, a proper city park with tree cover and some natural terrain underfoot. It is the kind of route where the surroundings do the work, with paths winding past park features rather than along roads or parking lots. The fun walk option means the morning draws a range of paces, but the park itself is what gives it character.
Packet pickup is available across two days before the race, with a window on race morning as well. On the day, the bandstand area across from the park museum serves as the pickup point and likely the gathering spot before the start.
