Organiser's Description

5K RACE
Held for the 7th year, the chipped timed 5K race 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.

This is a great opportunity to achieve a 5K personal record (PR) with its flat, long, straight stretches. This 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.
