This race starts and ends at North Meck High School. Not as pretty as some 5ks in Davidson or Cornelius. Since it ran mostly on 45 mph roads around the outskirts of Huntersville, I did terribly the two years I ran it (I liked park runs more back then). But it was definitely for a good cause, commemorating all the local high schoolers who have lost their lives since 1997. The production and DJing was great, but the course was meh.
