Healthy Bartow Historic 5K at Rose Lawn

Description

Immerse yourself in the history of Cartersville!   This 5K begins at Rose Lawn Museum, a historic Victorian home that once housed the famous evangelistic minister, Sam Jones.  The course takes you through one of the historic residential districts in Cartersville, Georgia.

Proceeds from this event will benefit Downtown Cartersville's Historic Wellness Walk as part of our Healthy Bartow Initiative, Rose Lawn's Save the Carriage House campaign, and the educational and preservation efforts of the Bartow History Museum.. Healthy Bartow is dedicated to the community-wide prevention of lifestyle related chronic illness.  This race will specifically launch our Downtown Cartersville's Historic Wellness Walk, which will provide several walking routes through the historic district.  Our goal for this project is to increase opportunities to be active while learning a little history along the way.
