About the Team up! 5K
The course heads north out of the Salvation Army community center, turns onto Braddock Road, then swings through a residential stretch before looping back south along Ox Road to finish where it started. The route is mostly on public roads, and there is a water station partway through near an elementary school.
Packet pickup opens on race morning before the start, so no need to make a separate trip. After finishing, there is music, snacks, and a vendor area with local sponsors set up near the finish.
