The Endurance Magazine USATF-NC Long Distance Championship Series will take the heat to the next level at Beat the Heat 5K, the 5K Championship. The race starts at 7:00pm on July 25. With $5000 in prize money and chances of hot weather the race will be smoking hot. Beat the Heat will bring out large numbers over the full range of participants from front runners to those running solely for fun and fitness. The purpose of Beat the Heat is to promote fitness and health, and improve the quality of life for individuals and families. The pre-race and post-race atmosphere is festive and social.
The race starts and finishes near Wake Forest University’s BB&T Football Stadium and the course often yields fast times for runners willing to push the pace and push through a slight uphill around mile two. Once over the hill runners will have a mostly downhill third mile which can often lean toward some fast finishes.
