About the VanWinkle Memorial 5K Run/Walk
The course runs the cross country loop around the school's athletic grounds, so the terrain is the kind of grass and open field surface a cross country runner would recognize. It is a memorial race honoring a local figure who contributed to running in this community, and the entry fees and donations go toward a scholarship in his name.
The start is in the school parking lot, which doubles as the gathering point before the race. It is a straightforward setup with no complicated logistics, and the athletic grounds keep everything in one place.
