About the Your Heart Counts 5K
The course runs through Meeks Park, mixing paved paths with hard-pack gravel as it follows alongside a creek through rolling terrain. The hills are gentle rather than punishing, and the surroundings have that open, wooded feel you get from a mountain park in the fall. The race supports cardiac health awareness, and the organizers ask runners to wear red.
Packet pickup runs the afternoon before at a local wellness center. On race morning, registration opens near one of the park pavilions, which also serves as the start and finish. Parking is inside the park along the main road, and it is free.
