The oldest race in Rome, and one of the oldest races in Georgia history, the 39th running of this fun yet challenging 5K winds through historic downtown Rome and climbs historic Clocktower Hill in the second mile before finishing with a view of the Coosa River in Heritage Park. Both the 5K and the 2-mile Health Walk courses are quite scenic, as they take in much of the "Between the Rivers" district of beautiful downtown Rome. Short sleeve Gildan Softstyle tee-shirts are guaranteed to runners and walkers registered by midnight, August 7th. Proceeds go to the Exchange Club Family Resource Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse.
