General Information
The RunGiving 5k and Fun Run is a local event held on Thanksgiving morning in Augusta, Georgia. The event works to provide items for the Broad Street Ministry Center's food pantry and clothing room. Participants are asked to bring a canned good or other non-perishable food donation. For each food item donated, runners receive a raffle ticket for entry to win a prize. The event is organized by Run the Tangents Timing.
Event Details
There are two events:
- A 5k race
- A Fun Run
The 5k starts and finishes at the Mill Village Trailhead (109 Eve St., Augusta, GA). The route continues onto the Augusta Canal towpath and is primarily concrete with some gravel and dirt sections. The Fun Run also starts at the Mill Village Trailhead, goes out to a cone on the path, and returns to the start line.
