Explore the Falls Race

Explore The Falls Race is the perfect balance of road and trail racing that navigates around Lake Holcomb and the streets of The Falls at Imperial Oaks community.  Send the kids off and watch them finish their 1k run before you begin your own race.  Whether you participate in the 5K or challenge yourself for a little more trail running on the 10K course, make the family proud and pick up one of the few hidden frozen turkeys for the upcoming holidays!

Chick-fil-a Grand PKWY North Kids 1K Course is an out and back, all on a safe, blocked off road.

The Falls 5K Course is 1 mile road, 1 mile gravel/grass/trail, 1 mile road (out and back).

Holcomb Family YMCA 10K Course is 1 mile road, 4 miles trail, 1 mile road.

The 5K and 10K run on the same roads and trails.  The 5K race turns around at the 1.55 mile mark and the 10K continues on to run around Lake Holcomb then returns back on the same road (Imperial Promenade).  See maps HERE.

On course nutrition:
You will be able to access the hydration station twice on the 5K (mile 1.3 and 1.8) and three times on the 10K (mile 1.3, 2.5, 4.7) with a potential bonus hydration station by the YMCA property.  The biggest gap without water would be between mile 2.5 & 4.7 leaving roughly 2 miles without hydration.  Plan your race accordingly.
