This 5K Race is sponsored by the Port City Pacer’s. A cannon blast at 9 a.m. will begin the race, the course of which will wind through the island and finish back at the fort, where an awards ceremony will take place. The Battle of Mobile Bay (BoMB) run is one of the area’s most popular races, with some 300 runners expected to participate and it is also a major fundraiser for the preservation of the Fort Gaines. Fort Gaines’ resident Blacksmith will be demonstrating his craft all day in the Fort’s original Blacksmith Shop.
