5K ROUTE UPDATE

A slight last minute change has been made to the 5K race route due to construction that was planned to be completed taking longer than expected. This is a very minor change, but please see the updated race route below. Runners will skip the small loop on Meadowbrook and Lyndale Ave as originally planned and will instead continue straight on Mallard St. There is some construction on Mallard St., but it is passable and lasts for just over a block. There are some cones out along this stretch so please watch your footing.

All other details remain the same!
