Series scoring is derived from the results for all seven $5K races in the year. Points are awarded based on overall and age group placement.  Awards are presented at the end of the season based upon cumulative points for the entire series.

The $5K is designed as a low-key race for the athletes who want to run a tune-up race to prepare for their targeted event, the novice who may be intimidated by the larger events and runners/walkers who want an event to test themselves without breaking the bank.

What you get:

• A 5k course that is flat, accurate, and well-marked.
• Chip-timed event with results uploaded to TCTC online results nearly real-time.
• Accurate finishing times
• Mile Markers 
• Clock at the finish line
• Aid stations on the course and finish area that have water.
• Support for all levels of runners or walkers

What you don’t get:

• T-Shirts – don’t you have a closetful already?
• Food at the finish area, unless a local establishment wants to provide something – any takers?
• Verbal splits, unless we have a plethora of volunteers
• Medals or trophies – we may have gift certificates that are awarded based on varying criteria

Location

The events will occur at Jamison Park (285 Meadowlark Drive), which is located next to Meadowlark School (401 Meadowlark Dr.) The course is a flat out and back on the Muddy Creek Greenway that starts at Jamison Park, turns around at the aid station, and returns to the park. This is a PR course for the competitive and nice easy course for the novice.

Course Map

We'll be using a new course beginning in 2021 with the start/finish closer to the Jamison Park shelter and the parking lots.
