The Race

The Hollis Fast 5K is a point-to-point race course. Our unique course drops 224 feet from start to finish. Many runners record their personal best time on this course. The distance is certified by the USATF, but because it drops more than one meter per kilometer, official state and national records do not count. If you beat your state age record, you will receive a waived entry into the 2013 race. In our six year history, 21 state age group records have been beaten. This is proof that this is a blazing fast course. See Map & Elevation Chart
