About the South Effingham NJROTC 5K
The course starts at the football stadium of South Effingham High School, heads out through the school entrance, and winds along a loop of local roads before returning to campus. The route sounds straightforward and without major obstacles, which makes it a reasonable choice for someone running a first race or chasing a personal best.
Registration opens a good while before the start, with the school itself as the hub for everything. The race raises money for the school's NJROTC program, funding competitions, travel, and training for the cadets, so there is a clear local purpose behind the entry fee.
