COURSE INFORMATION: All distances will start and finish on the track at Fowler Park. The 15k and 5k participants will make their way onto the Big Creek Greenway and then return to the park. The Fun Run will be run entirely on the track. CLICK HERE for venue and course map.

There are restrooms located by the track. Restrooms are also located at the Union Hill trail head, which is the turnaround for the 5k distance, and also at the Bethelview trail head, which is the turnaround for the 15k distance. There will be one water station on the 5k course and two on the 15k course (one of those you will pass by twice, so 3 opportunities for water).

PACKET PICK UP: Early packet pick up will be on Friday, April 29th from 11am to 7pm at North GA Running Co, located at 5456 Bethelview Rd., Cumming, GA 30040. For those who have been running with us for many years, THIS IS A NEW LOCATION FOR PACKET PICK UP.

You can also pick up your packet Saturday morning at the race site beginning at 6:45am.

We are excited about our new race location and know you are going to love Fowler Park and the Big Creek Greenway. It will be another great race, but we never forget why we host it for you each year – our mission is to stop ALS and to do that we need to raise many funds to support research for treatments and a cure. If you are not able to join us on race day this year, I invite you to donate the cost of an entry to one of our incredible fundraising teams. You can do that HERE. 100% of funds raised benefit the Emory ALS Center.

Thank you for 10 years of support – we can’t wait to Celebrate Life and Imagine a Cure with you on April 30th.
