Boys & Girls Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence. Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place to learn and grow – all while having fun. They are truly The Positive Place for Kids.

As part of these programs, the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Sandhills provided 23,484 meals in Southern Pines and 10,496 snacks in Aberdeen, serving nearly 2,000 members and community youth.

In the summer, Clubs and special summer-only sites open their doors all day to young people with nowhere else to go.

Weather
If it is cold outside before or after the race, look for the Aberdeen Merchants Guild hospitality tents to help keep you warm.
