Keep Carroll Beautiful - Green Run

The Fifth Annual Keep Carroll Beautiful Green Run will be held Saturday, October 22nd along the beautiful Carrollton GreenBelt.

Keep Carroll Beautiful, in partnership with local businesses, uses this race to raise much-needed funds for our community recycling events, beautification efforts, and litter prevention & clean up.

The Route

The race will start from the Target trailhead and follow the path towards the Carrollton City Schools Campus and down Ben Scott Boulevard before turning onto the shaded section along Buffalo Creek. Runners will conquer the hill leading to Hays Mill Trailhead and pass Laura's Park getting on the bridge over the Buffalo Creek Shoals. (Water and restroom available in this area). A sharp turn and quick downhill lead to the Hays Mill Road Underpass (stay in your lane all the way through this limited visibility section) and you are almost at the turnaround point! Now just follow the path back to Target Trailhead and claim your medal, grab some snacks, and find a spot to rest! 

We encourage everyone to social distance before and after the race. Masks will be required during packet pickup and for day-off signups. 

The Schedule

• The race starts at 8 am, Saturday, October 22nd.
• Awards begin at 9 am. 
• If needed, the runners will be staggered into smaller groups to comply with CDC recommendations and state regulations on social gatherings in effect at the time of the race.

Packets and Pickup

• The Race Packet includes a t-shirt and bib. Runners also receive a participation medal upon completing the 5K.
• Virtual runners can pick up their packets/medals from the KCB office (by appointment or during Early Packet Pickup). We can also ship the packet - please choose the shipping option during registration to speed up the process.
• Early Packet Pickup - TBA. 

Virtual and In-Person

While the Green Run is held outdoors with plenty of space to safely social distance, we understand some runners and walkers may want to take extra precautions and still be willing to support Keep Carroll Beautiful through participating in the 5K. We offer an honor-system virtual run/walk and ask that participants join us on October 22nd, or any other convenient date, to be a part of the KCB community! 

Like every year, we look forward to seeing you on the Greenbelt!
