Parking will be available at Gordon Hospital and at Gordon Central High School. A shuttle service will be provided every 15 minutes until 5:45 pm to transport participants from the high school to the race-start area. Or, if you’d prefer, use the half-mile distance as a warm-up.
The Course
The Run for Your Life 5k starting line will be in front of the hospital and will send participants through the parking lot to turn left onto 911 Boulevard and then right onto Curtis Parkway. The race course then take participants right onto Kent Dr. and around the Derby/Normandy/Devonwood neighborhood in a counterclockwise circle. Runners and walkers will then turn right back onto Curtis Parkway and continue until the turnaround at Dews Pond Rd. After the turn-around, participants will follow Curtis Parkway back toward the hospital and turn left onto 911 Boulevard. Finally, the course will wind participants back behind the hospital before bringing them to the finish line, located in front of the hospital near the starting line.
