About the Bartow's Heart and Sole 5k
This Valentine-themed race runs through Bartow with proceeds going to local food assistance and emergency services. It is put on by two Bartow organizations, the Junior Service League and the Community Service Center, which gives the morning a neighborhood feel. People come out to support the cause as much as to run.
