From the Organizer
The Fillmore 5K is a 3.1 mile race at Fillmore Golf Course. The course will be the Saturday following the High School Cross Country meet and held on the same course.
This is a unique and challenging course, for locals some may have ran this course during high school cross country. Fall in Dubuque County is a great time for running and enjoying the outdoors.
This is a fundraiser for Dubuque County Conservation with all entry fees going as a donation to Dubuque County Conservation towards conservation and trail stewardship. The event will also be hosted by volunteers and friends of Dubuque County Conservation.
Race will be chip timed by Kauder Racing.
There will be 1 Water Station at approx. Mile 1.5 (Halfway point)
Finish Line will provide Water, Bananas, and Chocolate Milk
Special Awards for Top 3 Male and Female Overall.
Awards for Top Male and Female of each Age Division.
Runners will receive a super soft Tri-Blend T-shirt.
Parking along Fairway Rd. will be closest to the Start / Finish Line. The starting line on the map is signified by the triangle, and the finish line will be just South of that signified by the dot on the map. These are both near the tee box for the 3rd hole on the golf course.
