Join the Family Justice Center on Saturday, June 22, 2024 for the seventh annual Bacon Around the Bend 5k! This scenic downtown 5k will once again feature our famous BACON STATION at the halfway point along the route. All finishers are invited to celebrate their achievement with post-race bacon-themed snacks at a finish line party hosted at Corby's Irish Pub. Participants over the age of 21 will also have the opportunity to toast their achievement with festive libations including our signature Bacon Bloody Mary. 

Please note that this is family fun run and NOT a timed event; the bacon is the true prize!

Adults - $40 includes race shirt, drink ticket and admission to finish line party
Ages 13-20 - $25 includes race shirt and admission to finish line party
Ages 4-12 - $10 includes race shirt and admission to finish line party

Bring your family (strollers welcome and bacon babies age three and under are free)!
