The Modesto Classic 5K was the first race I ran in Modesto, and it's still one of my favorites.
This year it's May 28 in Modesto's Tuolumne Park on the south end of town. The event features a 1-mile and certified 5K as well as a free 800-meter kids' fun run.
Except for about a quarter mile in the 5K, the events are run entirely in the park. That means very few encounters with traffic.
The course is mostly shady and goes along the Tuolumne River. There's only about a quarter to half mile near the Modesto airport that's in the sun. So it makes for a great run regardless of the weather.
The course also is fast. So if you're shooting for a P.R., check this one out.
