Course, awards and beneficiary
The course uses paved trail and roadway surfaces in White Hall Park. The 5K route starts and finishes near the log cabin at the White Hall Mansion, includes an out-and-back on the access road and a loop around the park and lake, and will have one or two water stops. Timing is done manually by RaceRise. The event offers free race photos and a referral reward program that refunds $25 after five referrals.
Awards are given to the top three male and top three female overall, and medals are awarded to the top two male and female in each age bracket (10 and under; 11-14; 15-19; 20-29; 30-39; 40-49; 50-59; 60-69; 70-79; 80+). The race benefits Orphan Care Alliance, which provides life coaching, family support, and family preservation services for children and families in Kentucky and southern Indiana. Recent figures show OCA matched 74 life coaches and provided case work to over 70 families in the last year. Donations are listed with examples of uses at $25, $50, and $75 levels.
