    The Lincoln-Douglas 5K, One-Mile Fun Run and Kids Races combine a fun, fast, and competitive 5K race with a fun run and series of kids races that ultimately crowns the "Fastest Kid in Town." 

    The course consists of three loops around the historic paved road inside Taylor Park – a 5K (3.1 miles), wheel-measured, certified course that is flat and fast designed to help you achieve a personal best.  

    A one mile fun run involves one loop of the 5k course.
