Pleasant Valley 5K Run/Walk, Aquathlon Challenge, and Dog Swim

The scenic 5K course winds through the streets of the quiet Pleasant Valley Neighborhood. After the neighborhood, the course heads out on the Flat Lick Stream Valley/Cub Run nature trail that is filled with peaceful forest views. Finally, you’ll loop back through the neighborhood towards the Pleasant Valley Pool to finish. The 5K course is best described as “rolling” with a few moderate hills. The course is paved. There are no time limits on the course. Walkers and runners are equally welcome at this event! Each participant will receive a Race Shirt. All proceeds from this all-volunteer event will go towards the Pleasant Valley Recreation Association for capital improvements on the pool.

The dogs make a splash! We've had the neighborhood dogs go for a swim at the end of every pool season, but now we're opening the event to dogs from all over! This is NOT a swim event for the human owners/families though, as we will not have lifeguards present.
