Start summer on the move with a choice of Half Marathon, 8K, or 5K, all beginning in Elizabeth Park. The Half Marathon follows a fast, flat route with about 96 feet of elevation gain, and its early start helps runners stay ahead of the heat. The 8K mixes in some rolling hills early on for a change of pace. The 5K suits both personal-best attempts, with the course record at 15:24.07, and relaxed runs or walks with friends. Participants can look for efficient logistics, well supplied aid stations, notable awards, and attentive on-course support, qualities associated with Trivium Racing. This event is also the second stop in the Trivium Mega Medal Series, and each finisher medal links with five others to create one big Mega Medal by season’s end.
