Course Map:
The 5K starts and ends between the Raccoon River Park Playground and the Biddle Rotary Shelter. The route is a closed-loop trail made up of crushed rock and asphalt, encircling Blue Heron Lake. Please note, this is a public park and will not be closed to the public during the time of our event. Therefore, there may be other trail users on the route at that time including bikes and runners. While participating in the 5K, please be courteous and share the trail with others.
There are portable restrooms along the trail. A SAG wagon will be running the course to transport any participants who do not wish to complete the walk. Water stations will be at two locations along the trail.
Parking:
Free parking is available at Raccoon River Park. Please follow the signage and Parking Attendant volunteers who will guide you in the parking lot. Our Parking Attendant volunteers will be in neon vests and will ensure an easy and smooth parking experience. Overflow parking will be available in the grass lot adjacent to the parking lot. Our Parking Attendant volunteers will help guide you!
