Hundreds of runners laced up their shoes, filling Coolidge Park with excitement, determination, and community spirit.

Jay Nevans, race director, says the event continues to grow each year and inspires runners of all levels to take part.

“We’re excited to be here today because our title sponsor, the Georgia Cumberland Conference at the Seventh-day Adventist Church, is passionate about sharing health and fitness with others,” Nevans said. “You might start with the 5K and have a good time, then come back for the 10K, half, or even the full marathon.
