The course winds through the picturesque Chamberlyne Country Club, a unique setting that features rolling hills in the shadow of majestic Mount Magazine. Runners will enjoy a journey along the cart paths, surrounded by manicured fairways, smoothly sloping greens, and stunning waterfront and wooded landscapes. Be prepared for some "killer hills" as you navigate the golf course terrain.

More than just a race, The Kindness Classic is a heartfelt tribute, honoring the memory of Kayla Morris and Landry Morris, individuals who embodied the spirit of kindness within their community. All profits from the event directly benefit the Kayla and Landry Morris Memorial Fund, making your participation a meaningful contribution.

Whether you're aiming for a personal best on the rolling golf course or looking for a family-friendly event with a powerful purpose, The Kindness Classic promises an engaging and impactful day. The 1K Kids Flash Dash provides a fun loop up hole 1 and down hole 18, ensuring even the youngest participants can join in the kindness-filled fun.
