Strawberry Festival 5K
May 2025 – Wallace

Two For One!!! This was an out and back that started in Duplin county crossed into Pender and then back. We’ve been looking for years to find a race that touched two counties & finally found one.
The race was in conjunction with the Strawberry festival 5K. Race was outside of town because everything was busy with the festival, so very rural run. The weather was lovely and very pretty country.
After pancakes we made it over to check out the festival.
