Run Day #3

Today we went out on the 5km race course. It was your first time out there so walk/run was still a  big part for a lot of people. We cut off the little extra loop around Elson and ended in the park so most people went 3-4.5km.

Here is the actual race loop that we will be using in 4-5 on race day.
