Brevard offers some choice for the 4th of July. If you’d like to go more than a 5k, they have a 10k as well. Both races start at 8 AM on July 4, 2009.
Here are notes on the courses …
Both the 5K and 10K have the same START & FINISH Lines, but the 10K will verve off at Gallimore Rd. taking a left onto Country Club Rd. (the 5Ker will take a right) to a turn around point on Country Club Rd., backtracking to S. Broad St., right on Varsity St., then left on S. Gaston St. to the FINISH Line.
