Note: You must walk if you are signed up for the walk. We have some competitive walkers in the race and it wouldn’t be fair to those walking. Please keep in mind race shirts are only guaranteed to those pre-registered by July 19th. - Your race entry fee includes a race t-shirt (pre-registered attendees only). Amenities: Course 1 (run and walk) - A scenic, rolling hills cross country course on a mix of grass, gravel and payment that is great for both beginners and “seasoned” trail blazers looking for a challenge. Since this is a run on nature’s trails, the course will be as close to 5K as we can get it!. Course 2 (walk only) - An easy stroll around the property for those unable to tackle the challenging hills. This is all flat and good for strollers, young children and elderly. Race Results: Race will be professionally timed by the Miles of Smiles TIming Services.; Results will be found at http://www.smileymiles.com Questions: Send emails to jacobmemorialrun@gmail.com and type “5K Race Director” in subject line.
