Our race course is beautiful; going through the woodlands along Eureka Lake and through local subdivisions. Both 5K and 10K distances available. Course is mostly flat with a couple of significant hills ascending Eureka Lake dam.

We will have raffles, free pancake and sausage breakfast , along with a family-friendly post-race celebration! Plan to participate or bring your cheering section as everyone goes home a winner because it supports the Heartline and Heart House mission.
