The Athens Chamber of Commerce is proud to present the 2024 Black-Eyed Pea 5K, part of the larger Black-Eyed Pea Jamboree, one of Athens's oldest and most exciting events. The timed 5K race will kick off from the Cain Center and follow a route that includes the scenic Cain Center grounds, running track, and gorgeous, shaded Robbins Road. Race participants will receive a free event T-shirt and swag bag, and those who place in their age categories will receive prize medals. Entry fees are $25 for adults, $25 for children ages 6-12, and free for children 5 and younger. Late registration is $35 so get registered by September 13th to save!
There will be medals awarded in each age division for males as well as females.
We couldn't do this race without the support from U.T. Health EMS, Athens Amateur Radio Club, the amazing Chamber Ambassadors, our fantastic sponsors, local Boy Scout Troop, and all those who make everything possible!
