BIG ADDITION TO THE BRIDGE RUN

The Southeast Georgia Health System Foundation Bridge Run is a signature event for the Health System and the Golden Isles. Certified by the U.S. Track and Field Association as the toughest 5K in Georgia, 5K runners start on the southbound side of the 7,780 foot long Sidney Lanier Bridge, crossing over and back. This year, the race takes place on Saturday, February 17th, and the Foundation is excited to add a Half Marathon. Runners will run the 5K course, and then continue through Brunswick with its waterfront views, turnof-the-century homes, and landmarks like Lover’s Oak and Mary Ross Waterfront Park. There’s also a fun walk and a family-friendly festival featuring community vendors, food and drink, entertainment, and children’s activities. Proceeds benefit the Health System’s cancer care programs. Start times begin at 7:00 a.m. Pasta party and race packet pickup February 16.
