About the Shriners 5K
The course runs through the East Side neighborhood on city streets, starting near a tunnel trailhead. There is a real climb right out of the gate, winding up through residential roads before leveling off. The back half runs a different way around and finishes with a long, gradual downhill to the start area, so the legs get a break at the end.
Parking and registration are together near the corner of Morgantown Avenue and Winfield Street, right at the start. A water stop sits roughly in the middle of the course. The race supports Shriners Children's through the local Osiris chapter, and there is a shorter walk option for those who want to take part without running the full distance.
