Both the Bellin Run 10K and 5K start and finish on Webster Avenue in front of Bellin Hospital and have a time limit of three hours. Our event utilizes assigned start corrals to ensure the race is safe and enjoyable for all.
The course is relatively flat, with the exception of one extended downhill stretch. The final mile has plenty of tree coverage, providing ample shade.
