Now in its 37th year this event is the oldest continuous road race in Johnston County and possibly in North Carolina. In 2013, the event had just over 120 entrants. Derrin Pierret won the 5K in 16:39 while Laura Berry took the women’s title in 18:43.

This USATF-sanctioned race begins promptly at 8 am at the intersection of Webb and Waddell Streets. Both the Family 5K Fun Walk and the 5K run begin at the same time and are run on the same USAT&F-certified course. No official timing will take place for the Walk, but finishers will be able to see their finishing times on the finish line clock.
