There will be custom age group award medals for both the 5K Run and Walk. This year, there will be a professional timing system operated by International Running Co. The course starts out and ends on flat neighborhood streets. The middle of the course is on Hammock Bay’s wooded trails and a path around the Freeport Sports Complex.
