Comfortable temps, big temp swing

About the RDC 10K

The RDC 10K starts on Mall Road at The Streets at Southpoint in Durham, then picks up the American Tobacco Trail by the ATT connector. Runners head south on the trail past Massey Chapel Road, turn around just beyond Scott King Road and return the same way to a finish beside the mall. The out-and-back course is USATF-certified and runs almost entirely on a greenway.
