We welcome runners and walkers of all ages to participate.

Teams of 10 or more will receive a reduced registration fee of $25 untimed and $30 timed per runner.  

You can create a team on the RunSignUp registration site, and have your friends and family register there. 

If you would like to register a team using a registration form you have two options in sending them in. Each participant will need to fill out an individual registration form. Forms may be duplicated. The fees can be collected by a main person in your group and one check sent in, or each runner can attach a check to their registration form which can be sent in as a group. 

If you decide to use the registration forms, we ask that you print the name of your team at the bottom of the form. This will help us know how many people are participating in each group. Before the 5K starts, our emcee will recognize all teams.

We offer school students, teachers and school groups a special registration rate of $10. You can register by using the special school registration form or you can go to the RunSignUp where there will be a special category for school registration.   

NOTE: The reduced fee does not apply to student’s parents, grandparents or guardians. We want to offer this special discount to our students and educators only. Our main purpose is to raise funds to grant the wishes of some special children in our community, so we ask that you please be considerate of this request. 

A Phantom Runner is someone who wants to support the 5K but is not able to attend the race. The fee for Phantom Runners is $30 and they must submit a registration form. They will receive a race t-shirt which will be mailed to them after the race.

Cobb County has two parking decks on the Marietta Square (spots around the Square are free).

The portable restrooms will be located across the street from the registration area on Winters Street.

Water will be available before and after the race and at two locations along the race route.

The race will go on as planned unless conditions are deemed hazardous to runners and/or volunteers.

Strollers are allowed at the race. We ask that you be mindful of the other runners. For safety, we do not allow bicycles, skates, skateboards, etc.

Pets on leashes are allowed at the race. We ask that you be mindful of the other runners.
