The 5k is an out-and-back on the Keene Road Trail, starting at the park splash pad and heading east to a turnaround where the 12-foot paved trail crosses Bellerive Road. The course will be marked with chalk and cones. There are three road crossings (Elementary St, Leslie Rd, Venus Cir) with volunteers assisting as crossing guards; participants are responsible for using the crosswalks and following applicable laws. The kids dash follows the paved loop inside Badger Mountain Community Park around fields and the splash pad.
