About the VHCC Great Expectations Race For The Future 5K
The course runs through the community college campus and spills beyond its edges. It starts in a parking lot, loops past a roundabout and through the upper lots, then crosses onto a public road before heading into unpaved disc golf trails that make up the bulk of the route. After that stretch, it crosses campus drive and passes an applied technology center before finishing back on the main campus.
Packet pickup is the day before at the Collins Student Center inside the ISC Building on campus. Race-morning pickup is also available near the start line, though the organizers prefer you grab your bib the day prior. No registration is accepted on race day itself, so plan accordingly.
