It's National Best Friends Day,
So Grab Your Buddies and Head Over to Rock Creek Park in Dawsonville.
On June 8th you'll have a chance to run as a team with your best friend (or friends) by participating in the Inaugural 5K. Great baseball style race shirt, everyone runs as a team and we'll have awards for the top 3 fastest all men's team, all women's team, mixed teams, and a bunch of others. It's dog friendly so you can bring your pooch. We'll have music, finish line food, and loads of great stuff will be waiting for you after you finish a super fast 5K course.
