• THE COURSE:
      » The Spotswood 5K Race course will take you through the
  streets of Spotswood. There are volunteers throughout the
  course and white arrows painted on the street to guide you
  through the race.
       There will be two water stations set up on the course. The
  first station is at the one mile mark, and the second at the two
  mile mark.
        Please note that a 15 minute mile pace or faster is required
  for the 5k. A 15 min. mile pace is roughly four miles per hour,
  equivalent to a very brisk walk.
        If you fall below this pace, the race organizers can no longer
  guarantee course support. Water Stations, medical support,
  Bathrooms, and road closures will begin to become
  unavailable to participants. The local police and race
  organizers will ask you to either move up onto the sidewalk or
  require you to be transported further up on course to catch
  up to the 15 min. per mile group.
