Event Information
This lively 3.1 mile run raises money for Make A Wish Georgia, turning sweat into smiles for children in Cobb County facing critical illnesses. The course is certified as a Peachtree Road Race qualifier, so your time counts for bragging rights as well as future races. Some participants sprint, others stroll, but everyone gets a T shirt at the finish line. It is the kind of morning where high fives are plentiful and the finish line feels extra sweet.
Early birds can sign up starting at 7 am on race day. The starting horn sounds at 8 am sharp on the Marietta Square. At 8:40 am, the winning T shirt designer gets a plaque before the spotlight shifts to the medals at 9 am. For a feel good moment, Wish Kids themselves hand out the hardware to the winners.
Online registration is available through RunSignUp until July 31. Mailed forms…
