Weather snapshot (AI-assisted text)
Taking place in Tifton, GA in mid-April, you can generally expect mild to warm temperatures, even in the evening.

Be prepared for potential spring showers, as the event has a no-refund policy for weather cancellations.
Terrain & course feel (AI-assisted text)
While specific terrain isn't detailed, a 5K hosted by a college cross country team on campus typically implies a mix of paved paths and possibly some well-maintained grassy areas.
