About the Warrior 5K Run/Walk and Family Mile
The course rolls out from the high school on an out-and-back route through nearby neighborhoods and past a village area, so the terrain is not flat but nothing is sustained either. The hills come and go. The Family Mile runs on the school's own track, which keeps that option contained and easy to spectate.
Everything happens at the high school on race morning, including registration and bib pickup, so there is no separate day-before errand. The start and finish are in the same spot, which makes it simple if you are bringing kids who are doing one distance while you run the other.
