The Schedule
The 12th Annual Burnsville Fit Families 5K will take place this Saturday, April 22, 2023. Check in, bib pick-up and race-day registration will be on the Town Square under the big tent beginning at 8:00 AM on race day. The race starts at 9:00 from the Town Square. After the race, we will have smoothies, music, and announce the race winners with prizes on the Town Square.
Parking/Road Closures
Parking is limited. East Main, Town Square, Azalea, West Main and North Main will be closed in the morning for the 5K. Please take parking into account for your arrival time.
The Weather!
We are keeping an eye on the weather. We will run in the rain, so come prepared to potentially get wet and still have fun! In the case of lightning and/or thunder, we will postpone the race start time up to 30 minutes. That is the maximum wiggle-room that we have with the DOT for road closures. Hopefully, weather will not “throw us off course”, but we wanted to share our plans so that you can plan accordingly.
If we are forced to cancel the race due to the weather (fingers crossed that this doesn’t happen), t-shirts will be available from 8:00-10:30 AM on Saturday morning at the First Baptist Church Fellowship Hall AND we will hold on to t-shirts for one week after the race for pick-up at the PATH office. If you need to pick up after Saturday, please email info@pathwnc.org to make arrangements to pick those up.
Home Remedies 5K Community Clinic
From 9:30 am to noon, the Home Remedies Program will hold a free, interactive, walk-up community health clinic on the Town Square during the Burnsville Fit Families 5K. Everyone is welcome to experience and learn about complementary health services including acupuncture, massage, and Tai Chi from local practitioners while learning about the Home Remedies Program. Join us to try out these services while your friends and family run the 5K, or join us for a wind-down after you complete the race.
