Races Near Me: Upcoming Running Races

Information US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help.

The Max Gruver Foundation believes there is no place for hazing in any organization. The purpose is to educate young people and parents about the dangers of hazing, the signs of hazing, and the importance of stepping up and helping when a situation appears to be getting out of control. The Max Gruver Foundation, based in Roswell, Georgia, is a 501(c)3 organization founded in 2017 following the death of Roswell teen Max Gruver. Max was killed in a fraternity hazing ritual during his first semester at Louisiana State University. Since that tragic day, his parents, Rae Ann and Steve Gruver, have worked tirelessly to fight hazing in organizations across the country. They regularly speak at universities and high schools, work with Greek leadership nationwide, and with legislators to create stronger laws against hazing. Their work has made tremendous changes, and will continue to do so. Participants can expect a high energy, fun morning with a mostly flat loop course. Runners and walkers of all levels are encouraged to participate.

We pride ourselves on giving our runners an extraordinary experience with a weekend full of fun events. The marathon and half marathon are open to hand cyclists, runners, and walkers.

At the 7-hour point, you will be asked by the race director or official to exit the race course. Our race has aid stations approximately every two miles. Every aid station is stocked with Combos(R), Aquafina water and Lemon-Lime Gatorade, as the mileage increases bananas, oranges, and GU gels will be provided. The runner's hospitality tent at the finish line offers Combos(R), Aquafina water, Lemon-Lime Gatorade, and Publix provides fruit, muffins, and a variety of bagels. Join us for the Downtown Street Festival starting at Noon, they will have live music, food vendors, and kids' activities.

Certified race: Certification # is GA24002DJ Why A Bowtie? Known for his impeccable style, Dr. Dempsey was a true "clotheshorse" who was rarely seen on campus without a sharp suit or a fashionable sport coat. His commitment to fashion was legendary—his sons even recall him mowing the lawn in penny loafers. His signature bow tie habit allegedly began in the late 1980s, inspired by his eldest son. Not content with clip-ons, Dr. Dempsey spent hours mastering the art of tying them by hand. This look soon became his professional calling card. Today, his sons cherish his extensive collection, continuing to wear his ties as a stylish tribute to a unique man. When to pick up participant bags or shirts? Saturday, at registration/check-in.

US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help. View Race Course, Results, and Race Information on the US Road Running race page.
