Barnes Drug Store 5K Fun Run & Splash Dash

The Barnes Drug Store 100 Year Annual 5K Fun Run & Splash Dash is held in Valdosta, Georgia, starting and finishing at Barnes Drug Store downtown on South Patterson Street. This 17th annual event features a 5K run/walk designed to foster community spirit while supporting a charitable cause. All proceeds and donations are matched dollar-for-dollar by Barnes Drug Store and benefit Evans Memorial Camp, an organization dedicated to helping fatherless children and families affected by addiction.

Since 2009, the event has raised over $1 million for local causes. Participants registering before June 26 receive a commemorative t-shirt. The race combines fitness, fun, and philanthropy in a supportive atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
