Glow for Life 5K & 1M Glow for Life 5K

Please join us for the 10th Annual Glow for Life 5K & 1M to benefit Bartow Family Resources!  (can you believe it's been TEN YEARS!!!!) This amazing race takes place at sunset in beautiful Sam Smith Park in Cartersville, GA. 

This year's race will enjoy a new and improved (and faster are certain!) Race Route!!!  While the Start / Finish Location will once again be located on the entrance road to the City of Cartersville Sr. Aquatic Center, this year's route will utilize additional elements of the both the Sam Smith Park Trail system as well as leveraging parts of area surface streets to allow our runners to speed up!    Parking will once again be located in the field next to the Aquatic Center, but the updated Start/Finish location will provide a bit more room for pre and post race activities including more room for race day registration, food trucks, vendors, and the overall festivities! 

If you've never run this one....you have missed out!  SO hey...don't miss out again!!!  It's a party and a sight to see!
