Brooklyn Bridge Park has a lot lined up for the spring but probably the most exciting is their first 5K run. Saturday, March 31st, the Eileen C. Dugan Memorial 5k will start and finish near Jane's carousel. Former State Assemblywoman and Carroll Gardens native, Eileen C. Dugan passed away of breast cancer in 1996 and this is year 14 of the race, which will raise money for breast cancer awareness. Registration is $25 and will only allow 200 entrants so act fast. Here's info on how to register.
