Please make plans to join us for this very special event…the 2nd running of the “ML5K CommUnity Run”  The race--in honor of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.--is meant to bring our community together, not only in recognition of Dr. King, but also in an effort to promote health and wellness in our own little corner of the world on this very special day!

Each year, proceeds from the race will benefit an individual or individuals experiencing health challenges, providing support for medical bills and related expenses. Additionally, proceeds will serve to benefit the MLK Bartow County Scholarship Fund, furthering education in the Bartow County community. 

This race route was well-received in its inaugural year and we think you will love utilizing a portion of the Sam Smith Park trail never before used for a 5K!  This is a rolling and scenic route that incorporates much of the surrounding beauty of Cartersville.  Please see the Race Route Map Below for a more detailed overview of the course.
