Big Red Apple 5K & Fun Run

The Big Red Apple 5K, presented by First Baptist Church of Cornelia, begins and ends at the church and the course goes through the Cornelia City Park. The One Mile Fun Run is 4 laps around the church property. Participants will receive a t-shirt, finisher medal, and official race timing. Awards will be presented to the overall male and female winner, as well as age group category winners. 

*You must be registered by Sept. 6th to be guaranteed a shirt. All those registering through race day will receive shirts while supplies last.

Jazzercise will lead a warm-up before the race and BSG Coffee will be on site with coffee to energize you for the race or for a nice treat afterwards.
