About the Course This scenic five-mile course in downtown Columbia begins and ends at beautiful Finlay Park. Walkers have their choice of completing a 3-mile or 5-mile course, which closes at 11 a.m. The course is sanctioned by USA Track & Field. Split times are provided at every mile, and water and first aid are available at three points along the course. Pacers will be available for 9- and 10-minute runners and 15- and 17-minute walkers. Strollers are welcome on the course. Please be courteous of other participants. All runners must pick up ChampionChip transmitters at the registration area the morning of the event. (Walkers are not timed.) Transmitters must be fastened to shoes and turned in after the race at a specially designated area. A $30 fee will be assessed if the chip is not returned. Race results will be posted at www.HeartAndSoleRun.com or www.HeartAndSoleWalk.com by Saturday afternoon, May 17. Visit www.wistv.com for photos of the day’s activities.
