Description

This 5k will be a Peachtree Road Race qualifier. The course will be officially measured and submitted to the USATF for official certification. The course is relatively flat with a few rolling hills. The elevation profile will be uploaded in the very near future. The course will be equipped with clear directional signage as well as TWO water stations, ensuring that each racer will stay on route and very well hydrated. Photos before, during, and after the race will be uploaded to the Mule Camp 5k Facebook page. Each racer will receive an RFID chip that will provide specific and accurate timing. Each racer who registers by September 19th will be guaranteed an official race t-shirt. Awards will be given to the top 3 finishers in each category (male and female) as well as the top 3 overall (male and female).
