5K Your Way is a 3.1 mile race.
The participant has an option of either running/walking the asphalt trail system or the dirt trail system. All participants will start at a common point and split off onto their chosen course then merge together again at the finish.
The dirt trail conditions can be affected by weather. In the case that the dirt trails cannot be used all participants will use the asphalt trails.
All proceeds for the race will go to the NOW[Nutrition on Weekends] program. This program provides meals to at risk children when the school system is not available such as weekends and during the summer.
