Course and format
The distance is 5K. The race began as a family reunion event in 2013 and is organized as a small, family-oriented community footrace held in memory of a fighter pilot who served in the United States Air Force. Walkers and strollers are welcome. The course uses dirt roads, grassy lawns, and one trail. Organizers note the route will be poorly marked and open to traffic. Timing is informal - the timing crew is described as using a smartphone and there are no timing chips, so an official time may not be recorded or may be inaccurate. The finish area may include refreshments such as cold drinks. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
