George Butler/Bart Williams Memorial Rail Run/Walk Morning Mile

The Newbern Depot Days Race has been renamed the George Butler Memorial Rail Run to honor Reverend George Butler, who passionately led the event for many years. All proceeds will support the George Butler Memorial Food Pantry, managed by Newbern community volunteers and situated at the church where Butler served for over 30 years. The event takes place in Downtown Newbern and features a run, awards for younger participants, and a health walk. Participants can purchase event t-shirts and contribute to a cause supporting the local pantry.
