(race date estimated)Camp Barnabas Campfire 5K Race Description
Here at Camp Barnabas, we can't bear the thought of our community running without a little extra motivation. That's why this year we're hosting the first-ever Camp Barnabas Campfire 5K. Break out your flannel and join us for this twilight 5K ending with cocoa and a campfire. We’ll supply the beards, but keep an eye out for BEARS (we hear they might be lurking around the course). Run, stroll, or just come and enjoy good company on February 8th!

Camp Barnabas Campfire 5K Where & When
Most Helpful Review
You NEVER start a race early
There was construction and roads were closed. Parking lots that are normally open were closed due to another event happening at the same time. Even with all of that, I arrived well before the race was scheduled to start. When I walked up to the start line, everyone was gone except for a few ladies who were waiting on a friend. While looking at my apple watch, which showed a time of 4:54, I asked them if the race had already started. They confirmed it had and, like me, they were super annoyed. I took off trying to find the race route, but ended up going a few blocks out of my way. Cardinal Rule of organizing a race...YOU NEVER START IT EARLY! :(
