From the Organizer
Join us to celebrate Fleet Feet Athens turning 13 years old on July 13th, 2026! We'll kick off the evening with a run/ walk (1, 3, and 5 mile routes) at 6pm, featuring HOKA demo shoes. We'll have Amy from Journey Juice slinging mocktails and cocktails, as well as a 360 degree photo booth, and several other fun surprises and giveaways. This event is free and open to all people and all paces. Walkers, families, and well-behaved dogs are welcome.
The first 100 people to signup for the event will receive a ticket for a free scoop of ice cream at Jeni's Ice Cream, only redeemable on July 13th at Jeni's Ice Cream in Athens. This signup will close after 100 folks have signed up. If someone signs up, but does not attend the event, we will give away any remaining tickets.
We can't wait to celebrate our birthday with y'all!!
