Sunny Rest 5K
Has anyone participated in the past?If so, any advice?I am considering doing the walking division this year.
I did the 5K at Sunny Rest once. Be prepared for a hilly course. The year I ran, the race leader noted that the very steep main street we would run on is nicknamed Heart Attack Hill, but not to worry, since we would be running downhill on it! First, you still have to run uphill somewhere else on the course and second, running downhill on a steep street is just as bad as running uphill on it.
They do multiple laps around the course, with part on roads and part on their hiking trails in the woods. They also did a 7K that used to go further into the woods until they realized they were sending a bunch of nude runners off-property. I think both races each summer are now just 5K.

Thanks. Do you know if they still have a 1 mile walk option?
We are both volunteering at Solair's Wine Tasting event Saturday, so we won't be heading down. I am still out of shape from not running 3 years after a partially torn Achilles tendon and skipped Solair's 5K so I don't think I'll be doing any 5Ks until at least next year.
