About the Sprint Like A Saint 5K Road Race
The course starts and finishes on the St. John property on Gornto Road, then winds out through the surrounding neighborhoods. It is a road race with volunteer support and spectators along the way, and a water station out on the route. The morning wraps up with a fall festival on the grounds right after the race.
Race-morning registration and packet pickup close before the start, so getting there early matters. Awards go deep into the age groups, covering overall and masters winners as well as the top finishers in each bracket.
