CHARLESTON, SC- The Charleston RiverDogs will host the Sixth Annual "Run Forrest Run 5K" on Saturday, April 11 presented by Bubba Gump Shrimp Company and Coburg Dairy. The race begins at 4:15 pm at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park prior to the RiverDogs' home game against the Rome Braves.

The course is TAC certified and features split times at each mile marker as well as a water station at the halfway point.

The registration fee after March 27 is $30. Bubba Gump Shrimp Company's very own Forrest Gump will be on hand to start the rain-or-shine race and mingle with runners throughout the evening.
