THE COURSE

The Kids One Mile Glow Run is held the evening prior to the event during the Pasta Party and Family Wellness Expo. The course will be held inside the park or in the gym of Ephram White depending on the weather. The 5K course stays within the Ephram White Park campus. The half-marathon completes the same route as the 5K but will exit and later reenter the park in order to meet the 13.1 miles. Mile markers will be placed along the course as well as a halfway point for the half marathon. Volunteers will be stationed on the course periodically with water, first aid and general support. All courses will start and end in the same location. Click the image to view the route video for each course.
