Despite the name, Vidalia's Tri for the Girls is not a triathlon only for women. Instead, the name is a reference to the breast cancer charity the event helps. The event, on Oct. 6, 2012, includes a triathlon, duathlon, and 5k. The bike leg on this event is relatively short at 10.8 miles, but is otherwise a normal sprint-distance event.

Races Around Here: Farm Day 5k and 1 Mile

Races Around Here: Pirates on the Run 5k & 1 Mile
Baxley, GA, seems to have an unusual number of races for such a small town and if last year's Fall Fitness and this year's Tree Trek races are any sign, they're very well run. A third 5k and 1 mile race will be held at the high school's tennis and baseball complex (behind the school) on August 18, 2012. From what I've been able to find out, registration the day of may be the only way to sign up for this event. Registration starts at 5:30 p.m. and the 1 mile kicks off at 7 p.m. with the 5k following at 7:30.
