From the Organizer
We are thrilled to host our 5th Annual Benefit run.

The run will begin at the head of the Atlanta MTB trail located at 101 Sportsplex Drive then follow signs to the trail head.
All participants who sign up by August 28, 2026 will receive a Free T-shirt.

With your help we can continue the battle for research.

From Endurance Grid
This race spans more than one sport — here’s a guide to each, so you can understand what’s involved and decide if it’s the right fit. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer’s event page.
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
Running off-road — dirt, singletrack, and mountain paths — from 5Ks to ultras. The terrain, not the pace, is the whole point.
