About the Barnwell Community Spud Run
The Spud Run benefits the restoration of the historic Barnwell Community Center, so the cause is woven into the morning. Distances range from a short walk-friendly course to a longer timed run, and the pace of the whole event leans toward neighbors out together rather than a purely competitive field.
The race feeds directly into the Butts, Spuds & Brews Festival afterward, which means there is live music, local vendors, BBQ, potato-themed food, and kids' activities waiting at the finish. Plan to stay a while; the festival is the bulk of the day.
