About the 5th Annual Bree’s Miles of Memories 5K & Fun Run

The race runs through Etowah River Park and honors Breanna Chadwick, who passed away after an accident and became an organ donor. The morning has a Dr. Seuss theme, so expect costumed characters roaming the course and plenty of families dressed as their favorite Seuss figures. The park setting keeps things scenic, and the 5K also qualifies for the Peachtree Road Race.

The morning opens with a memorial presentation before the 5K starts, so arriving early matters. Packet pickup is on-site race morning. After the 5K wraps, a shorter fun run follows, and the morning closes with an awards gathering that includes acknowledgments and photos.

Common Questions About the 5th Annual Bree’s Miles of Memories 5K & Fun Run

Will I finish last at the 5th Annual Bree’s Miles of Memories 5K & Fun Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 37:06, and the last recorded finisher came in around 58:57, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 5th Annual Bree’s Miles of Memories 5K & Fun Run a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (98 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the 5th Annual Bree’s Miles of Memories 5K & Fun Run?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 19:43 while the median finisher took 37:06. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
