Red Eft 5.5 Miler : Norton, Virginia
The Red Eft 5.5 Miler is a road running event based at the High Knob Destination Center (HKDC) just outside downtown Norton. The course is an out-and-back route that travels into Flag Rock Recreation Area and returns to the HKDC parking area. Course marshals and directional arrows are posted along the route.
The route is an open road course with vehicular traffic and includes several sharp and blind curves as runners ascend toward Flag Rock Recreation Area. Aid stations with water are located at approximately the 1.9-, 2.75-, and 3.4-mile markers. Restroom facilities are available at the registration site and at locations along the course in the recreation area.
Timing for the event is handled manually; runners are asked to have bibs visible at the finish so times can be recorded. Race packets are distributed at the High Knob Destination Center and include a race shirt and bib with pins. Race day registration is available for a fee of $45.
Awards are presented to the top three men and women overall, overall masters man and woman (age 40 and up), and a finisher award is given to everyone who completes the race. All proceeds benefit program development at the High Knob Destination Center. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
