Join us for the Pregnancy Care Center of Burke County’s inaugural Day For Life 5k Run/Walk and Mile Fun Run/Walk, the kickoff to our Burke Day For Life celebration–a day of community, family, music, food, and fun for all ages.
The 5k race begins at 8:00 am; the start and finish line will be at Burkemont Baptist Church. The course rolls through the beautiful countryside along the base of Burkemont Mountain. Take in the fresh air and scenery of the NC Foothills during peak autumn season. As an extra treat, the race route goes through Double E Farms–a working farm with beef cattle, lambs, corn fields and a pumpkin patch. Be sure to visit Briarpatch Mercantile at Double E Farms for local breads, cheeses, deer corn, gifts and produce. After crossing the finish line, awards will be given for each age group, male and female. The Mile Fun Run/Walk begins at 9:30 am and will be a loop course, also starting and finishing at Burkemont Baptist Church. All ages are encouraged to participate.
After the races, get ready to celebrate with food trucks, live music, carnival games and treats, door prizes and a raffle. All proceeds from these events support the services of the Pregnancy Care Center of Burke County.
