5th Annual "Battle of Atlanta Double Quick" 5K Fun Run/Walk
As a part of the events commemorating the 147th Anniversary of the Battle of Atlanta the Double Quick race will begin as the battle began with Union troops firing the first shot and Union troop re-enactors will be on hand to start the race.
The racecourse goes on neighborhood streets, through downtown Kirkwood, and along the PATH bikeway through shaded Gillam Park. While there are now buildings along the course, the topography has remained virtually the same since the battle.
The race will be neighborhood friendly and suitable for various ages and skill levels. Volunteers from Kirkwood are organizing the race. Entry forms are available online here.
