Course:
The Lou Cox Memorial 5K is one of the fastest 5K's in the Midwest! Starting on Edwin C. Moses Blvd in Dayton, OH, the race heads north to Stewart St. Here, runners will cross over the Little Miami River and then turn south on Patterson Blvd. Runners will run to the turnaround spot and then return to Stewart St. via the paralleling bike path. After crossing back over the river, the runners will run back to Welcome Stadium before running 350 meters on the track to the finish line.

The Lou Cox Memorial 5K has a slight elevation loss, as the finish line on the track sits lower than the start line on Edwin C. Moses Blvd. There is no noticeable elevation change until a downhill into the parking lot at 2.5 miles.

Avoid the race day rush and pick up your packet on Sunday, May 27 from 1:00pm-4:00pm at Up and Running (Dayton Location, 6123 Far Hills Ave).

Race day pickup is available at Welcome Stadium beginning at 7:00AM. We will also be accepting late registrations at the rate of $30 during packet pickup on Sunday.

Please Note: Per USATF rule 245, all awards and results will be based on gun time, not net time.
