Flat and Fast Rural Hall 5K 10K

This is the 14th running of this event and as usual, all race proceeds benefit the Rural Hall
Elementary School. Both the 5K and 10K are USA Track and Field certified with a gun start and chip
timing for accurate results. The 10K starts at 8am with the 5K at 8:15am to allow couples or friends
to arrive together and run the same or different races. Our 5K is perfect for younger runners, walkers
wanting to support the school, families including jogging strollers, injured runners or as a recovery
race after a tougher summer odeal due to it's totally FLAT 5K course! Our 10K is a bit more
challenging with three hills at the front end of the course, but still is relatively flat for this area and
boasts some of the best 10K times that many of our runners have accomplished to date! This year
will once again feature our Hanes Sport (TM) Cool Dri High Tech moisture wicking shirts rated 50
UPF for UV ray protection!
