White Elephant 5K/10K/Half Marathon - Canton

Canton, GA
Grab the family and celebrate Christmas Eve morning by joining us for the White Elephant Christmas 5K/10K/Half Marathon! Get ready for a holiday race with a playful twist! Welcome to the White Elephant 5K/10K/Half Marathon—the event inspired by everyone’s favorite gift-swapping tradition, where surprises, silliness, and a little friendly chaos make the fun. Just like the classic holiday game, this race celebrates the joy of “re-gifting,” transforming leftover treasures into unforgettable memories. We'll be running at Etowah River Park starting at 8:30 am. Athletes will select their preferred shirt size at registration, but the actual shirt remains a mystery until after the race. When you cross the finish line, you’ll unwrap your very own surprise bundle—a race shirt and finisher medal from a previous event, packaged White Elephant–style for a fun and festive reveal. In addition to the post-race surprises, we’ll honor performance in the traditional way with awards to the top three male and female finishers in five-year age groups, beginning with 10 & under and continuing through our most experienced participants. With distances for every level—a festive 5K, a spirited 10K, and a challenging Half Marathon—the White Elephant Run is the perfect way to celebrate the season with humor, heart, and holiday cheer. Welcome to the White Elephant 5K/10K/Half Marathon—unwrap the fun, embrace the unexpected, and enjoy every mile of this joyful holiday tradition!

Pooler, GA
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.

Why We Run The Break Every Chain 5K was inspired by the life of my brother, Julius Justin Burns. Justin struggled with mental health challenges and addiction for many years. His journey was filled with battles that many people never saw, but his life continues to inspire our mission every single day. Today, Justin rests in Jesus, and his legacy lives on through every person who chooses hope over despair, healing over hopelessness, and compassion over judgment. This race exists because we believe every person has value, every life matters, and no one should have to face life’s struggles alone. As we begin a new year together, we celebrate new beginnings. Whether you’re breaking a personal record, breaking free from addiction, overcoming depression, finding hope after loss, or simply taking the next step forward in life, every mile represents the possibility of a new chapter. Thank you for choosing to be part of this journey. By joining us, you’re helping build a community that believes hope is stronger than hopelessness and that, together, we can help break every chain. Start the New Year with purpose. Break a personal record. Break a chain.

OUTLAST ATLANTA

Conyers, GA
What Is OUTLAST? OUTLAST is a 6-hour, 12-hour, or 24-hour trail endurance challenge where runners complete a 5K every hour, on the hour. Each lap must be finished within the hour to stay in the event. If you finish early, you rest until the next round. Miss a lap, and you’re out. Complete all six or twelve, or twenty-four rounds, and you OUTLAST. This isn't just about speed — it's about pacing, discipline, and mental grit. Whether you're trying to survive all six or win your division, the challenge is the same: show up each hour, push your limits, and stay in it. Each course is trail-based, with natural terrain, elevation, and unpredictable conditions. You’ll have time between rounds to recover, refuel, and refocus — but not much. What You Earn: 4 laps = “Grit Earned” patch 5 laps = “Survivor” patch 6 Hour Finisher = Premium “OUTLAST” 6-inch medal 12 Hour Finisher = Premium “OUTLAST ULTRA” 12-inch medal 24 Hour Finisher = Premium “OUTLAST ULTRA” buckle *You only receive the medal for the race you signup for* ​​All participants receive a premium OUTLAST Tee. Top male and female with the fastest combined 5K times at each event win the 1st Place OUTLAST award. Finishers are ranked on the world leaderboard—and the fastest runner across all OUTLAST 6-hour events (including the Championship) will be crowned World Champion and take home a cash prize of $1,000. The top 5 Male and Female 6-hour champions from each city will earn a spot in the Outlast World Championship in DFW December 4 2027, where they’ll compete against the best of the best at the end of the Tour, and the 1st-3rd place male and female winners of the Championship take home a cash prize, listed below. (This is separate from the world leaderboard prize money.) 1st place = $1,200 2nd place = $800 3rd place = $500 Frequently Asked Questions: Do I have to run all 6 laps? Nope. Run as many as you can. If you complete 4 or 5, you'll still earn a patch. Only those who finish all 6 get the OUTLAST medal and leaderboard ranking, finish 12 and get the OUTLAST ULTRA medal, finish 24 and get the OUTLAST ULTRA Buckle. What happens if I don’t finish a lap in time? You're out. The next lap starts at the top of the next hour, and only those who completed the last lap on time can continue. How is the race timed? Each 5K is timed individually. If you complete all 6, your combined time counts toward the local win and world leaderboard. Are these trail races or road? Every OUTLAST race is on trail terrain — dirt, rocks, roots, and elevation. Sometimes some pavement and gravel. Can I walk? Yes, as long as you finish the 5K within the hour. But some courses are rugged, and time can sneak up on you. Are there aid stations? Yes. There will be water, basic hydration, and snacks at the basecamp/loop start. This is a cupless event — bring your own bottle or hydration system. What should I bring? Trail shoes, hydration system, layers (weather dependent), fuel between laps, and grit. Can I setup a tent? Absolutely, bring your own aid station/tent setup. Is OUTLAST for beginners? Yes — if you're mentally tough. You don’t need to be fast, just consistent and ready to suffer a little. How do I win? If you finish all 6 laps and have the fastest combined time, you win your division (male/female). Winners are also added to the world leaderboard for a shot at the $1,000 national prize & title.

New Year 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Athens, GA (02)

Athens, GA
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.

New Year 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Stockbridge, GA (02)

Stockbridge, GA
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.

Chase the Sun, Crushing your Goals! 🏃‍♀️💨 Welcome to the 2027 Sunrise Marathon 5K/10K/13.1! There is no better way to start your day than stepping up to the starting line just as the world wakes up.

Whether it's a 5K, 10K, half-marathon, or virtual run, you'll get the warmth of a hometown event. Overview: Spots sell out FAST! We close each wave the moment it fills. Once a wave sells out, you can grab the virtual run option or join the waitlist.

All paces and ages welcome (under 18 with a guardian) - run it, walk it, however you like! There's no gear, no setup, no fuss - just you, the course, and our coordinators cheering you on in a relaxed, stress-free setting.

Timing: Optional! Track your own time via Strava, RunKeeper, Nike Run, or similar, then submit it through our easy online form to get posted. Or just ask a coordinator to help time you.

Race bibs are simply handed out on race day. When Will My Swag Arrive? Your shirt will land at your mailing address the week of your race. Signing Up Last Minute?

Ugly Pajama 5K Run

Johns Creek, GA
Welcome to the Ugly Pajama 5K—the only race where the crazier the pajamas, the better! Today, we’re celebrating cozy chaos, bold patterns, fuzzy slippers, and everything fabulously mismatched. Whether you’re rocking reindeer onesies, plaid PJs, or sleepwear so questionable it should probably stay indoors… you’re in the perfect place. This event brings together runners, walkers, families, and pajama enthusiasts of all kinds for a lighthearted, laughter-filled 5K. So zip up, tie those robe belts tight, and get ready to strut your stuff on the course. Comfort meets competition as we kick off this fun, spirited run—where style points are definitely awarded for ridiculousness. We are running on Johns Creek Pkwy in Johns Creek, GA starting at 9:00 am. There will be a finisher medal for everyone and a great race-themed shirt. We’ll also be presenting overall and age-group awards in the usual 5-year categories starting at 10 & under, giving runners of all ages a chance to shine. Let’s embrace the silly, stay warm, and make some unforgettable (and very fashion-challenged) memories. Welcome to the Ugly Pajama 5K—let’s pajama-party our way to the finish line!

Capitolina Dryland Challenge

Rome, GA
Get ready to experience two days of mushing on fast, flowy trail that winds through forest and meadow. This is an ISDRA sanctioned dryland race with categories for men, women, and juniors across canicross, bikejor, scooterjor, and rig classes. The race will be held on shady, well established trails in Rome, Ga at the GE Trails. Expect two days of racing on a course approximately 2.3 miles long for all classes. You must complete day 1 to be able to race day 2 (winners' purses to be announced). We'll have food and coffee on site for purchase as well as some other opportunities to gather and relax. Make sure to follow the event Facebook page for lodging/camping information and to stay up to date! WEATHER can be variable here. If your team is not acclimated to Southern winter conditions, please make decisions for your team accordingly; we may race at "feels like" temperatures that account for temperature and humidity upwards of 50 degrees depending on other conditions. We are all hoping for cold and clear though! For anyone new to mushing, expect a driver's meeting to go over trail rules, safety, and equipment requirements. Feel free to contact us with any questions or to join our weekly drop in sessions for more information. NEW THIS YEAR! SWAG: All finishers will receive a challenge coin and a shirt. These will be one per racer - not one per class and will be in your driver's bags. Real bathrooms! The city is installing public toilets with running water. Check socials for any updates on wash stations as I'm really hopeful there will be a hose hook up to at least knock some mud off your bikes, dogs, and maybe you! Subscribe to our MONTHLY SOCIAL TRAINING CALENDAR: https://capitolinaevents.substack.com/ If you're in the Atlanta-Chattanooga-Anniston triangle, we may be on trails near you! We can also guarantee plenty of contact with the race route if you like to prep early for race day. Awards: First, Second, Third place finishers will be recognized in each class with canicross finishers in female, male, and nonbinary categories to be recognized.. Prizes will be awarded in classes with at least 3 participants. Junior racers will be recognized and awarded in a way to maximize the celebration of junior athletes to be determined after registration. That may look like gendered categories or recognition in categories with fewer than 3 racers. We LOVE seeing junior racers get at it!

Viking 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Athens, GA (04)

Athens, GA
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. View Race Course, Results, and Race Information on the US Road Running race page.
