The 5k run is an out-and-back course primarily on 84th Street and France Avenue. The route is along suburban streets and includes several hills. The walk is also an out-and-back course, with a portion of the walk looping around scenic Lake Girard on woodchip trails. Walkers can decide on the length of their walk by doing one, two or three circuits of Lake Girard. Click here to check out maps of the two courses.
