Meet Me at the Fountain 5K is what the name implies; a quick 5K through downtown Forest City starting and finishing beside the famous town fountain. The event is produced by Smith’s Drugs in Forest City. Each year they select several local nonprofits to benefit from the race. Based on race histories this would be the fastest 5K course in the race series. They offer a lot of age groups and age group prizes.
