IMPORTANT LOCATION INFORMATION: We are tentatively approved to return to the traditional course near the newly remodeled Depot & Tunnel area on East Church & Railroad Streets. However, if Tunnel repairs are not completed as scheduled, we will once again hold the race at Barnesville High School. We will know something more definitive by May 1st. Please keep an eye on for info on the website, emails and on our Facebook Page for updated info as race week approaches!! We offer more trophies (nearly150!) in more divisions (including a Masters division in both the Run and Walk, a unique Dog-Walking Division, a Hand Cyclist/Wheelchair Division and scores of Age Groups) than most 5k's of this size that you will find most anywhere!

We also have a HUGE smorgasbord of delicious food including pizza, our homemade Carlito's subs, deli-fr
