Inaugural Sussex County Habitat for Humanity 5K run / 1 mile walk / Kids dash

The Inaugural Sussex County Habitat for Humanity 5K run / 1 mile walk / Kids dash returns to Georgetown, Delaware on Saturday, September 19th.
Race participants will gather in the heart of downtown Georgetown at the picturesque Centennial Park, located off Washington Street and just blocks from the historic town square. The morning of race day finds temperatures around 21°C with a comfortable feel that promises an enjoyable run or walk through the early autumn air.
The event has been organized as part of Habitat for Humanity's ongoing mission to build affordable housing in Sussex County, Delaware. Since its inception, this community-driven initiative has grown significantly, attracting participants from across the region who are passionate about supporting local families and enhancing their neighborhoods.
For those looking to participate, the course loops through Centennial Park, offering a flat surface that makes for an accessible run or walk. The route is marked clearly with signs and volunteers ensuring safety and guidance throughout the race. For the competitive walking event, participants can look forward to navigating this familiar path while enjoying the community atmosphere.
The start time of 9AM sharp marks the beginning of the day's activities, which include a one-mile non-competitive walk for those who prefer a slower pace or are looking to spend quality family time together. The race itself is a five-kilometer run designed to challenge and entertain runners and walkers alike as they complete their laps through Centennial Park.
