Gold Rush 5K

My wife, 10 year old daughter, and I ran the Gold Rush 5K this morning on the UNC Charlotte campus. It is the 17th annual and we've probably done about 10 of them. It is a really hilly race, with the middle mile overwhelmingly uphill, sometimes steep.

The course takes you in a loop around campus.

At least the very last part of the race is downhill, so you finish fast. Kudos to the guy who played the Star Spangled Banner on the trumpet and who then came to the starting line to play the theme to Rocky.
