About the Free Run 5K
The course runs on closed city streets through downtown Fayetteville, with the historic Market House among the landmarks you pass along the way. North South Brewing Company anchors both ends of the route, so you leave from the brewery and come back to it. The roads are closed to traffic, and the route keeps you in the thick of downtown the whole way.
Packet pickup runs the afternoon and evening before race day at North South Brewing, which is also where the race begins and ends. Post-race, you are already at a brewery, so the finish line situation takes care of itself.
