Race Course

The St. Thomas' 5K at Cobbs Hill for Habitat for Humanity offers runners a unique experience, combining elements of a road race, a trail run, and a cross-country course in one race. From the Church, you'll run uphill to Nunda Street, entering Cobbs Hill Park at Washington Grove, a quiet wooded haven of large oaks and wildlife. The race continues along wooded trails in the park and returns to the Church along Highland Ave. There will be two water stations. The race is hand-timed.
