If you signed up for a 5k in early July in North Carolina, you know what you’re getting into. This race starts and ends next to the Huntersville Family Fitness and Aquatics center. You go downhill to Statesville Road, then take the exit ramp down to Mt. Holly-Huntersville Road. Since it was all downhill, my first mile was 6:40 (still my fastest mile split in a race ever), but miles 2 and 3 were about 9 minutes each. From Mt. Holly-Huntersville, you go to Old Statesville Road, then onto Verhoeff Drive where you finish up at the HFFA. Not much beauty, just 45 mph roads. I think you get a blue shirt as swag.
