📣🩳 SHORT SHORTS 5K UPDATE + ROUTE ANNOUNCEMENT! 🩳📣
We've got a couple important updates leading into race day!
🚧 Due to road construction outside Swing Barrel, all pre-race and post-race festivities will be held at Davy Park, conveniently located right next to the start/finish line. FULL details will be shared with all participants in the pre-race email.
🍻🎶 The good news? You'll still get all the fun, including food, drinks, music, awards, and post-race celebrations.
🪑 Since we'll be partying in the park, seating will be limited. We highly encourage you to bring your own lawn chair so you can kick back, relax, and enjoy the festivities after the race.
🏃♂️🩳 ROUTE ANNOUNCEMENT!
We're mixing things up this year! Instead of last year's straight out-and-back course, runners will get a quick loop through Woodlawn Park before heading back to the finish line. 🗺️ Check out the updated route here:
