Black-Eyed Pea 5K and Family Fun Run
The Black-Eyed Pea 5K and Family Fun Run is an annual race held as part of the Jamburgeree festival in Athens, Texas. The timed 5K starts and finishes at the Cain Center YMCA (214 Loyola Drive) and follows a course that winds through Cain Park and along Robbins Road before returning to the finish area.
The event offers a separate family fun run that loops through Cain Park and is intended for families, children, walkers, and community members. Chip timing for the 5K is provided by iTRI365, and overall and age division awards are given for the 5K field. Registration items listed by the organizer include an official event T-shirt while supplies last, a participant swag bag, and chip-timed results for 5K entrants.
Practical details noted by the organizer include that all registrations must be completed through the Active website and that packet pick-up is race day only. The race is presented in connection with the Jamburgeree festival, which features downtown entertainment, vendors, food, and family activities following the race.
