About the James Campbell Memorial 5K
This race runs through Dunbar as the opening event of a local winter series, and it carries real weight behind it. It honors a volunteer who gave a lot of time to the running community and whose name most local runners will recognize. The proceeds go toward a scholarship fund for high school seniors, so the cause is specific and local.
The start is at Dunbar City Hall, which makes parking and finding the start area straightforward. Post-race, the connection to the broader winter series gives the morning a through-line if you plan to keep running through the colder months.
