There will be one water station on the 5K course, about half way through the race.

Volunteers will be stationed at each turn and there will be signs marking every turn.  There will be police or fire personnel stationed at key intersections.

We ask you to stay to the right side of the road and run alone whenever possible.

Stuff

All 5K runners will receive a custom race shirt. Fun Runners will receive a fun prize at the finish line.

The race will utilize chip timing. The chips are attached to the back of your race bib so don’t crinkle them.  Please wear your bib on the front of your clothing so we can see it at the finish line.

Well behaved dogs with current tags and vaccinations on a short leash are welcome.

There are two large parking lots at the park, offering plenty of parking for the event.

The Haw Creek Community Association has a NO REFUND policy.
