COMMUNITY SUPPORT & "RACE ROW" The Cantrell Center is proud to highlight several races throughout the year as a way to encourage participants to keep up the momentum even after they cross the Cantrell Center 5K's finish line. We proudly feature local run/walk events on our website, our online calendar, and our monthly newsletter year-round. In addition, on the day of the Cantrell Center 5K, we offer space affectionately referred to as "Race Row" to other walk/run events to inspire participants to keep moving! These local events then have a chance to register participants for their race while our participants commit to keeping active— it's a win-win! The most important endeavor is to serve the mission of our 5K by giving back into you, the participant by offering the resources listed above. When you understand the statistics on obesity and the comorbidities related to an obese and sedentary lifestyle, you realize how important it becomes for us to improve Georgia's demographics. Healthy Georgia, Strong America starts right here in Warner Robins, GA with the Cantrell Center 5K and YOU!
