The event, part of the “Run & See Georgia Grand Prix Series,” was originated by Dr. Edward Hellman, spine surgeon with Georgia Sports Medicine and Orthopedic Clinic in Tifton. “I am an avid runner, so I thought it would be fun to organize a 5K run and one mile walk that could also raise awareness and funds for three important women’s programs.” This year we have added a separate 5K race for runners and walkers with strollers so it will be a real family affair!
The race is a scenic 5k loop around the Lake Blackshear.
The course begins just outside the entrance of the Lake Blackshear Resort and Golf Club inside Georgia Veterans Memorial State Park. It is a fun, scenic course. CHIP TIMING provided by Event Tech, Inc.
