The 5k is a simple "lollipop" route (out-and-back with a loop around the lake). Mostly flat with a few short hills. Great for beginners!

Bring a few new or gently used books for 5-17 year olds to donate to the cause. We will be collecting culturally diverse books at the pavilion. Find out more about our Literacy Partners. Please bring books with Black main characters and/or written by Black authors.
