About the Steph's Run 5k
The course runs through residential streets and loops through a corporate campus on the edge of the neighborhood. The feel is genuinely informal, with no pressure to push the pace. Proceeds go to a local family dealing with cancer, so the people who show up tend to know each other or know the cause.
