Starting at Indian Springs Park, 5 K runners go to Franklin and turn left across the river. Turning on MLK, runners follow the river walk along the river to Faulkner where they turn and go back on the river walk to the Suspension Bridge, then cross the river to the finish line.The start and finish lines are located at the suspension bridge in Indian Springs Park.
