The 10K follows the river toward a turnaround on Kings Hill just past Kings Dam. The 5K is a looped course that follows the 10K route for about 2400 meters, then cuts across the edge of Tomahawk High School property, returns to School Road, continues on Somo Ave, and finishes at Memorial Park on 6th St. The Mile Fun Run is a looped course for all ages; awards for the Fun Run are limited to participants 12 and under. The top 100 finishers in the 10K receive a finisher medal in the finish chute. The top three finishers in each age group for the 5K and 1-mile receive medals at an awards table under the park gazebo. Refreshments will be available in the finishing corral. In case of inclement weather, the tentative plan is to run the race the next day; updates will be sent by email and announced on local radio WJJQ 92.5.
