About the Peanut Butter Jelly Jog 5k
The course runs through residential streets and city blocks in Graham. The surroundings are everyday neighborhood scenery, which keeps the atmosphere grounded and the route easy to follow. Strollers are welcome, and costumes show up too, so the start line tends to look a little more colorful than most mornings.
The race benefits local food ministries serving families facing hunger in the area. Bringing a jar of peanut butter or jelly is in the spirit of the thing, though the name alone gets that point across. Post-race refreshments are part of the finish-line setup.
