Course & Travel Notes

The Worthington Waddle 5K takes place at 528 feet elevation, which is relatively modest and shouldn't require significant pacing adjustments for most runners. Sunrise occurs at 7:38 AM on race day, giving you good visibility well before the 9:00 AM start. Expect typical November weather with highs around 54°F and lows near 34°F, so layering is recommended, and be prepared for the possibility of rain.
