Scheduled for Saturday, April 29, 2023 in partnership with the Woodbine Crawfish Festival, the Doreen Myers 5K Walk/Run is a fundraising and awareness special event that unites hundreds of runners and walkers in the spirit of caring and giving to help end child abuse and neglect in Coastal Georgia. Named in memory of Doreen Myers, a well-respected child abuse investigator, law enforcement veteran, and expert in the investigation of sexual abuse and other crimes against children, the event benefits Safe Harbor Children’s Advocacy Centers and supports the identification, investigation, prosecution, treatment, and prevention of child abuse.
The Doreen Myers 5k Run/Walk kicks off the events on Saturday morning with a beautiful run through Woodbine, the boardwalk, and finishing at the Satilla Waterfront Park by the banks of the Satilla River.
