From the Organizer

Join us this Memorial Day weekend as we come together to honor and remember the brave men and women who lost their lives while serving our country. The Memorial Day 5K/10K/15K is a meaningful way to pay tribute to our fallen heroes—by gathering as a community, celebrating their legacy, and moving forward in their honor. In their honor, we are offering all Active and Retired Military a *Complimentary race (5K, 10K or 15K)" on May 23, 2026. (Military I.D. of the athlete must be shown to pick up bib.)

Join us at Thomas B. Mack Park on Lake Hollingsworth. Participants may choose from the 5K, 10K, or 15K distances, each offering a patriotic race-day experience filled with purpose and pride. All athletes who cross the finish line will receive a commemorative finisher medal, a lasting reminder of the day and the heroes it represents.

To recognize outstanding performances, awards will be presented to the top three men and women in the traditional five-year age groups for all three race distances.

Run with gratitude. Run with remembrance. Run for those who gave everything.
