Our 2025 5K Route does have a couple of modifications in the initial leg of the race. Last year our runners asked that we get rid of the trip over the grass at the Lebanon Middle School. So we made that happen.
Here's the updated 12K Route Map for this year. It's 6k out and 6k back. We'll use the 5K Route and then head up through the Lebanon Community Fellowship parking lot, around behind the Lebanon Primary School, and then drop down to the backroads to get to the hiking trail in JS Easterly park, a turnaround at the locked gate at the trail's end and it's right back to the Start/Finish line.
