From the Organizer
One Town. One Morning. Everybody Moves.
This one is ours.
The Powder Springs Hometown Run 5K is bringing our community together for a morning built around hometown pride, school spirit, family, fitness, local businesses, and the people who make Powder Springs home.
Run it. Walk it. Bring the family. Rally your coworkers. Get your church group together. Rep your school.
Whether you're chasing a personal best or simply want to walk 3.1 miles with your neighbors, you belong at the starting line.
This isn't just another 5K.
It's our hometown run.
THE FIRST ONE
Every tradition has a beginning.
This is ours.
Powder Springs will be the birthplace of the Hometown Run — a new race experience designed to celebrate the schools, families, businesses, neighborhoods, and people that give a town its identity.
And you'll be able to say:
I was there for the first one.
We're building the inaugural Powder Springs Hometown Run to feel like something our community can be proud of — a professionally produced race with big-race energy and hometown heart.
