About the Under the Helmet 5k Run and Fun Run
The course starts and finishes in downtown Brunswick, near Queen's Square, routing through the historic district. The streets there are generally flat, with older architecture lining the way. There is also a shorter fun run option for those who want something less demanding than the full route.
The race is organized by the Pilot Club of Brunswick, a volunteer service group focused on brain safety and caregiver support. Proceeds go toward programs like helmet distribution for kids and resources for caregivers. The start area is at a named intersection just off Queen's Square, so parking near downtown is worth planning ahead.
