May The Course Be With You

The Force is with you. Always.

This MAY THE FOURTH course is sure to win the battle. The course is great for both new and experienced runners. After a short climb up Kery Drive and through one small loop of the Lawndale neighborhood (10K only), the course flattens out at about 1.25 mi. Then runners find their rhythm along the Atlantic & Yadkin Greenway, with both races ending on a downhill sprint to the finish!
