Pooler Juneteenth Celebration 6.19K/1.9K Run & Walk
The 5th Annual Pooler Juneteenth Celebration 6.19k/1.9k Run & Walk is a family-oriented sports event held at the Pooler Stadium in Georgia. The event takes place on June 19 to observe the Juneteenth holiday, featuring distances specifically chosen to represent the date.
Participants can choose between two main distances:
- 6.19 km
- 1.9 km (approximately 1.18 miles)
The 6.19 km distance is designed as a long 5k, adding approximately half a mile to the standard distance to reflect the June 19th date. The 1.9 km event is intended as a shorter option suitable for those who prefer walking or families looking for a less demanding distance. Both courses are open to various skill levels and do not require specific qualification standards.
The event is accessible for participants using strollers and those accompanied by well-behaved pets. At the start and finish line area, a small fair provides post-race refreshments such as water and snacks. Participants who register by June 12th are guaranteed a t-shirt and a finisher medal, while those registering after this date may receive a shirt depending on availability. Pre-race packet pickup is available at a local running store the day before the event, with additional pickup options at the start line on the morning of the race.
