About the Event
Now in its 37th year, the Run For Love 5K is a cherished community tradition hosted by Tift County Cross Country Teams. More than just a race, this annual event brings together runners, families, and supporters to celebrate health, unity, and the Blue Devil school spirit.
Purpose
Proceeds from the Run For Love directly support the Tift County Cross Country team. Funds raised help provide essential items and experiences for our student-athletes, including team dinners, custom shirts, race prizes, gear, letterman jackets, and special gifts for our seniors and 8th grade athletes. Your participation and support not only fuel our team’s success, but also build lasting memories for every runner involved.
Join us in making a difference—one step, one mile, one runner at a time.
