About the St. Urho 5K/10K
The shorter distance starts in a high school parking lot and finishes at a local statue of St. Urho, keeping the finish line in a spot with real meaning to the town. The longer distance begins near some ball fields, loops around Stocking Lake with a stretch of trail mixed in, and ends at the same statue. The courses share a finish but feel like different races.
Packet pickup opens the evening before the race at the high school commons, with another window early on race morning. Afterward, area businesses donate prizes drawn for anyone who sticks around, including gift certificates to running shops in the region.
