The Kiwanis Brunswick Rockin’ Stewbilee 5k

Lace up for the Kiwanis Brunswick Rockin’ Stewbilee 5k, a flat and scenic race set to take place on February 28, 2026, in historic Brunswick, GA. This USTAF-certified 5k course winds through charming downtown Brunswick, offering an enjoyable experience for runners of all abilities. Typical race day conditions in late February boast comfortable highs around 68F and lows around 50F, with a minimal 11% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

What truly sets this 5k apart is its integration into the vibrant Brunswick Rockin’ Stewbilee festival, held at Mary Ross Waterfront Park, which also serves as the race's start and finish line. Your race registration includes complimentary entry to the renowned Stewbilee, where you can indulge in tastings from local cooking teams vying for the coveted "Best Brunswick Stew" title. Runners can anticipate a lively atmosphere post-race, with live music, a classic and antique car show, arts and crafts vendors, and even a pooch parade.

This event isn't just a race; it's a celebration of community and a southern culinary tradition, as Brunswick, Georgia, is widely recognized as the birthplace of Brunswick stew. Participating in the Kiwanis Brunswick Rockin’ Stewbilee 5k also supports a great cause, with proceeds benefiting the Boys & Girls Club of Southeast Georgia. Packet pickup is available the day before on St. Simons Island or on race day morning at Mary Ross Waterfront Park.
