Brookhaven, GA, Jan. 22, 2020 – Registration is now open for the 2020 Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival 5K/1K, taking place Saturday, March 21, at 7:30 a.m. at Blackburn Park, 3493 Ashford Dunwoody Road. This year’s 5K, which is both USATF-certified for 2020 Peachtree Road Race qualifying and a fundraiser for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, will take runners through Brookhaven’s Blackburn Park.

“The sixth running of the Cherry Blossom 5k will undoubtedly be the best so far,” said Brookhaven Mayor John Ernst. “Every year this race continues to grow - not just in size but in spirit. It is the perfect way to get out for a community run and support the important work of Children’s Healthcare.”

“The Cherry Blossom 5k invites all ages and skill levels to enjoy a run, walk, or stroll through our beautiful Blackburn Park,” said Brookhaven District 1 Councilwoman Linley Jones.  “All are welcome to enjoy the first Saturday of Spring at this fun and family-friendly event.”
