Organiser's Description
FREE PRE-RACE PASTA DINNER AT PACKET PICKUP ON SATURDAY 3-6 PM AT THE BAACC CENTER AT 1621 ALBANY ST!
5K RACE
Held for the 6th year, the chipped timed 5K race RRCA certified course takes runners down Brunswick's most historic African-American corridor and past some of Brunswicks most historic neighborhoods, offering participants the opportunity to immerse themselves in the vibrant history.
As an added bonus, the Annual MLK Day Parade will be traveling down G Street and making a right turn on Albany (not on the race route). Participants can watch the parade go by, providing a fantastic opportunity to pay homage to the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.
This is a great opportunity to achieve a 5K personal record (PR) with its flat, long, straight stretches. The route follows an out-and-back path along Albany to 4th Street.
GUIDED HISTORIC WALK
Participants take a guided walk down historic Albany Street, which has been the heartbeat of African-American history since after the Civil War. Walkers are transported back in time and can connect with the rich heritage and stories as they pass landmarks, historic homes, and sites.
