2026 COURSE MAP
Start at Memory Isle Park, located east of the Three Rivers Fire Station, and follow the path north toward the Pealer St. Bridge. Turn right onto Pealer St. One-Mile participants turn around before you cross over the bridge (look for a volunteer to direct you); 5K'ers cross the bridge and turn left at the library crosswalk. Follow the sidewalk around the parking lot to West St., which sends you through in-town neighborhoods to Armstrong Blvd. A firetruck will mark the turnaround before heading back on this flat, fast course. Before re-entering the park, you’ll add a few extra steps as you tour N. Grant, French, and N. Hooker Ave. Once you return to Pealer, turn right, enter the park, and finish where you started.
