The Vinings Downhill5k (formally the Run for the kids) has a new date and a new course this year. The new date is Saturday August 18, 2012 .
Because of the construction on US41 Randall Mill Park is not available. Fortunately Lovett Schools has generously open up their campus for the finish line. The starting line will remain at Printpack and the after race party at the Vinings Jubilee. This fast 5K course begins at the top of Mt. Wilkerson in Vinings, winds around the Cumberland Mall area, and ends at the Lovett School (280-foot net drop).
The 1M Fun Run begins and ends at the Vinings Jubilee.
After the 5k you may ride the bus from the Finish Line to Vinings Jubilee for the post race party or you may choose to walk. After the awards ceremony you may ride the bus back to your car or you may walk the 1/2 mile trip. This year at 8:05 a.m., one school bus will transport guest of 5k runners from the start line to Vinings Jubilee or the finish line.
Race party and awards ceremony will be held at Vinings Jubilee – Awards for the M/F Overall, Masters, Grandmasters and the Top 3 place awards in 14 age groups from 10yrs & younger to 70yrs & over. Runners will be electronically timed. Awards will be based on a gun time.
