Course and race notes
Five years ago we laced up our sneakers for the very first time to raise funds for Special K's, an agency of Special Olympics Georgia (SOGA).
Please join us for the 5th Annual Sugar Mill Jingle Bell Dash 5K Run/Walk so that we can continue to support Special K's.
In the organizer's words, from the race's own listing.
