Beaufort Bridge Run 5K Race and 1 Mile Dog Strut

The Beaufort Lions Club is pleased to announce our 1st Annual Beaufort Bridge Run 5K Race and 1+ Mile Dog Strut on November 2, 2019, with the course going on and over the two new bridges in Beaufort. These events will be the first to feature Beaufort’s new bridges – the high-rise Gallants Channel Bridge and the Turner Street Bridge. This run/walk event will actually be the 5th annual for the Beaufort Lions Club. Previous events of the popular Fall race were the Glow Run in 2015 and 2016, and the Front Street Gallop races in 2017 and 2018, attracting hundreds of participants – running, walking and barking for charitable causes supported by the Beaufort Lions Club. We anticipate the Beaufort Bridge Run will be a ‘race destination’ for elite, casual and novice runners, literally giving the participants – locals and out-of-towners – a spectacular view of our amazing town!

An added touch to this year’s event will be a post-race party at Backstreet Pub, where participants will ‘cool down’ after their run or walk, mingle and receive their awards.

In addition to highlighting awareness of diabetes and its health effects, we are seeking sponsors to fund projects for several non-profit organizations that help people in our community, which includes Beaufort, Morehead City, Down East, Carteret County beaches and surrounding areas.
