Flat & Fast Rural Hall 5K
The Flat & Fast Rural Hall 5K is a community road race held at Rural Hall Elementary School, 275 College Street, Rural Hall, NC 27045. Proceeds benefit Rural Hall Elementary School.
The course is USATF certified and uses a gun start with chip timing. The route is a flat out and back along a protected lane of Broad Street. Organizers note a course change with the start and finish located at the school due to local road construction. The course is described as runner, walker, stroller and family friendly and offers spectator access along the route.
Packet pick up is offered early at AgSouth Farm Credit, 340 Bethania-Rural Hall Rd, and on race day at Rural Hall Elementary School. Registration is available online and on site; the registration fee is $25.00.
Event shirts are provided for participants, with adult shirts as Hanes Sport Cool Dri moisture wicking fabric with 50 plus UPF and youth shirts as a Hanes 50/50 cotton poly blend. Awards include Olympic style age group medals across standard age categories. A Halloween costume contest offers cash prizes for top placements. A halfway water station is on course and finish line refreshments include bottled water, doughnuts, chocolate milk, cookies, fruit and Gatorade.
Race guidelines state no pets except service animals and that cyclists will follow the final runner to support a safe finish and timely results. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
