Below is a map of the 5k. Where the "start" is marked is the kid park that all activities will take place. There is limited parking so please carpool if possible. Other parking will be available on Dordan ct on the street. No parking is allowed on Dunham rd. (sorry). The green X's are water spots (where we need volunteers to pass out water). The purple "." are cheering spots. The first is at a park (with the water), the 2nd is at a covered bridge (with water) and the last is on Dordan ct. Because this is a tightly secured neighborhood, there is little leeway on large group gatherings and such and we don't want to "tick" anyone off. So please, if a security guard asks you to move your car, please do so nicely.
The course: starts on dunham rd kid park, west to dordan ct, loop through the ct, then back on dunham rd. Turn rt on colby the left at sidewalk following Gages lake rd. Turn left on Leonard. Stay on Leonard as it loops around turning into Manchester. Turn left on Colby the right on Dunham. Loop back through Dordan ct then head to park. Course is 3.1 miles.
