The medal is included and will be mailed to you, and you have the option to purchase our race shirt as quantities last. Thank you for a wonderful season start!

This annual family friendly event is the perfect way to start the holiday season. Participants and spectators take over Veterans Park as the sun is setting and the holiday lights come one for a magical 5K run/walk. This years event benefits Speed for Need. The mission of Speed for Need is to raise awareness and foster inclusion of those with a special need through participation in fitness events supported by the men of F3 Nation. They push Track Commanders (riders with a special need) in customized racing wheelchairs to help them participate in and complete fitness events such as 5Ks, 10Ks, or marathons – experiences that they would not be able to have on their own.

We listened to your feedback from past races and are happy to announce a new course route this year! You still get to run/walk or roll through the greatest light show in North Georgia Holiday Lights at Veteran's Park but now..

- Almost 3 full laps around the park plus 3 passes through the popular tunnel of lights instead of just once!

- Start and Finish at the well lit Buzz Center so no more lost in the dark trying to make your way back.

- Most importantly the shuttles will continue to run throughout the event to hopefully alleviate some congestion at the end of the race!

So excited to see all of you out there! Dress in your Christmas best! Wear your Christmas lights! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
