Run for the Word 5K

The 5K course begins on Zion Street across Highway 153 from Trinity Lutheran Church, follows Hoke Street, Kimmons Street and Rice Street, then turns onto Highway 29 Business. Participants follow the road 1.1 miles to a turnaround in the Hogan's Cabinetry parking lot, retrace the route toward Landis for about 1 mile, then turn onto Ridge Avenue and return on Zion Street to finish beside the church. The course is described as flat.
