NC Blueberry Festival 5K

The North Carolina Blueberry Festival 5K Run is a celebrated event that coincides with the annual North Carolina Blueberry Festival in Burgaw. This festive gathering features live music, craft vendors, a car and truck show, a pie-eating contest, and of course, locally grown blueberries. Participants in the run or the Tour de Blueberry cycle ride will experience the charming streets of historic downtown Burgaw. Proceeds from the event benefit PATH, an organization dedicated to supporting the health of Pender County's youth through school-based healthcare, ensuring students receive timely medical attention without missing school, and reducing work absence for parents.
