Event Information
The Kennesaw Grand Prix Series brings four 5K races to downtown Kennesaw in 2026, giving runners plenty of chances to chase a personal record on a mostly flat, fast asphalt course. The series is professionally timed, USATF certified, and serves as a Peachtree Road Race qualifier, making it a strong option for competitive runners. At the same time, the lively race-day setup, post-race refreshments, and family-friendly extras keep it welcoming for beginners, walkers, and parents with kids in tow.
All four races begin at Kennesaw First Baptist Church, located at 2958 N. Main Street in Kennesaw. The course runs through downtown Kennesaw and Swift-Cantrell Park, giving participants a scenic route without adding the sort of hills that make runners question their life choices before breakfast.
Each race day follows the same schedule. Race-day packet pickup and registration open at 6:30 am. The 1 Mile Fun Run starts at 7:30 am,…
