DIRECTIONS TO WESLEYAN
From I-475
On I-475 go to Exit #9 Zebulon Road. (There are signs indicating that this is the Wesleyan College exit.) Exit and turn onto Zebulon Road (from south turn right, from north turn left). You will go several miles and through three traffic lights at Zebulon Road, which turns residential once you have gone past the immediate area off the interstate. Zebulon Road ends at Forsyth Road. Turn right and, within a mile, the college will be on the right.

From I-75
On I-75 go to Exit #169, Arkwright Road. Exit, go west and straight at the light across Riverside Drive.  At the next light, turn right onto Northside Drive. Go straight through the light at Forest Hill Road. At the light, turn left onto Wesleyan Drive. When Wesleyan Drive intersects Rivoli Drive, it jogs left and then immediately right, crosses the railroad tracks, and ends at Forsyth Road, at the campus. Turn left onto Forsyth Road and right into the campus.

PARKING
Please plan to arrive early! Parking is available on the Wesleyan Campus from the Tucker Road entrance only on a first come, first served basis. The first entrance onto campus from Tucker Road (Gate 4) is designated for breast cancer survivors. The second entrance onto campus from Tucker Rd. (Gate 5) has parking lots behind the Porter Memorial Fine Arts Building and at the Matthews  Athletic Center. Additional parking is available at Tattnall Square Baptist Church at the intersection of Zebulon and Forsyth Roads. Check our website for updates: www.KomenCentralGa.org.
This event will occur rain or shine. We reserve the right to cancel in extreme circumstances. In that event, there will be no refunds, rather, your entry fee will be used as a donation to the Komen Central Georgia Race for the Cure.
 

Course Details:  

The race will begin in front of Wesleyan on Forsyth Road.  Travel north on Forsyth Road to Zebulon, veer left onto Zebulon and travel up Zebulon to turn around.  Travel back down Zebulon and turn right onto Wellington.  Turn right on Brittany and right on Forsyth.  Finally, turn right into the Wesleyan Campus to the finish line.  (USATF certification number is pending.) The Celebration Walk/Kids for the Cure^TM Parade will be on Wesleyan Campus.

Race Safety:  

For the safety of all participants, our insurance company requests that in-line skates and pets are discouraged from participating in this event. We also request that participants with baby strollers/ joggers join for the Celebration Walk, rather than the 5K event.

Cancellation:  

This event will occur rain or shine. Cancellation will occur only due to extreme circumstances, in which case there will not be any refunds and your payment will be used as a donation.
