This is the main fund raiser for Upper Yadkin Valley Habitat For Humanity. The course starts flat as the park's walking track is transformed into a racing track. A set of rollers start around Mile 1, followed by a flat run through downtown Elkin. Two more hills (naturally the last one is the steepest) await between miles 1.75 and 2. After summitting the last climb, it's all downhill and flat to the finish. Hey, it's only a 5k, not the Bataan Death March. So come get out of your house to help put someone in their's.

Here are the half marathon directions, which starts & finishes at the Elkin Park:
Follows the 5k course along Market St, turn right onto Main Street. Follow West Main Street (do not take the 5k left turn!) to Edgewood, which is just past Johnson Funeral Home. Turn left on Edgewood and follow it to the end. Turn around and go back to West Main, and turn left onto West Main. Follow West Main to Elk Spur. Turn right on Elk Spur. After passing Elkin High School, runners turn left for a fast out and back on Memorial Park Drive. Runners complete a second loop of this course and finish in the park. A final race map once the course has been measured with a tape.
It isn't exactly easy, but it's not super hard either. Just remember, vomit helps grass and flowers grow.
