The Rotary 5K starts and finishes near the Rotary Shelter and follows a clockwise loop around Jim Barnett Park and the grounds of Shenandoah University.
SURFACES: Two-thirds of the course uses paved roads, with about a mile of the course being run on sidewalks (due to traffic on Millwood Avenue and Pleasant Valley Road).
TOPOGRAPHY: The first mile is rolling, with one uphill coming shortly after the start and another on the S.U. campus. Starting at about 1½ miles is a mile-long slightly uphill grade along Pleasant Valley Avenue and continuing for a short way on Cork Street. The final half mile is a little rolling, with only a couple short hills.
