Graveyard 5K

The Graveyard 5K & Boo-gaw Trick or Treat Mile is a festive running event held in Burgaw, North Carolina, as part of the Burgaw Autumn Festival. The 5K course features scenic routes along the Osgood Canal Greenway and Urban Trail, including a unique one-third mile stretch through the historic Burgaw Cemetery with graves dating back to the 1860s.
