10K COURSE

Participants can run the 6.2 mile course along side of their teammates and no longer need to worry about bus rides and chip exchanges.  Those looking to add a team concept should consider creating a social team.

The 10K course follows parts of the half-marathon course, starting and finishing at Tubman-Garrett Park and enjoying both downtown and park settings during the route.
