The Sweet Treats 5k is one in a series of 4 located in Marion NC. Small town USA settings give this super fun race a family friendly vibe. Marion is quite hilly so the course is a little hilly but there's also a couple good downhill sections too, which give the course an overall nice balance. The packet
pick-up is offered on Friday evening or race day morning. The shirts are soft and comfy & have a super cute logo on them. After the race Marion offers a Sweet Treats Festival in which you can rock your medal with local vendors selling all their wares.
It's a really fun 5k & the race director is an avid runner herself so she pays attention to detail & knows what runners are looking for in a 5k!
The medals in all 4 of the Mcdowell Series 5ks hook together and are a must have to your bling collection!
