Then, it takes you on a large loop that travels along gorgeous country roads and alongside historic Etowah Indians Mounds before circumventing Dellinger Park and re-entering at the main entrance. Back to the 400m. track where you will finish like an Olympian as you finish your race on the track!! 5K Course: Similar to the 10K, the 5K starts however at the main entrance of Dellinger Park. It, however, just makes the large loop around the Etowah Indian Mounds but then re-enters Dellinger Park in the back entrance to the park and heads to the 400m. track inside the park. One loop around the track and just like that, this fast yet beautiful race is done! Enjoy the open country roads with surrounding farmland and a gentle rolling hill or two you'll hardly notice. PLEASE NOTE: This is a rain-or-shine event!
