Starting at Nathan Dean Park in Rockmart, this scenic 5K goes down the scenic Silver Comet Trail with slight inclines along the river, and  ends back at the park where there will be inflatables, food trucks, games and music provided by J103.

While our runners are competing, we will also have a 1 mile Fun Run/ Wheelchair Roll for anyone else wanting to get in on the fun, but not the distance. We look forward to a good time while raising money for Spinal Cord Injury Survivors, helping them to LIVE, not just survive and turn their I CAN’Ts into I CANS!
