About
The ever popular and patriotic Red White and Blue Shoes 5K on the campus of Furman University on July 4th.
This fast race course is USATF certified. The start line is in the parking lot adjacent to the north stands at Paladin stadium. The route circles the mall and loops around the Duke Library at the center of campus. The course then goes across the dam at Swan Lake and takes the paved path around the lake, using the new footbridge at the north end of the lake. The route passes the Amphitheater, goes left on Bell Tower Road to Roe Ford Road, then goes right on Roe Ford Road back to the mall. After coming down the mall road, the course rounds the circle in front of the PAC and goes down the driveway to the North Stands. Runners enter at the back gate of the stadium and finish in a blaze of glory at the 50-yard line at Paladin Stadium.
5K will participants receive a high quality Runners Cap. Limited to 1200 participants.
Proceeds from the GTC RWBS 5K go to the Blue Shoes Track Scholarship program, providing scholarships to deserving student athletes and promoting excellence on the track and in the classroom.
