10K races near Cedartown

The Berry Half/10K/5K takes place in early March on Berry College’s 27,000-acre campus in Rome, Georgia. Participants can select a half marathon, 10K, 5K, or Kids Fun Run, making the event suitable for seasoned runners, families, and newcomers. The campus itself is a key attraction: Berry is noted as the world’s largest campus, featuring extensive woodlands, historic academic structures, open fields, and over 1,200 deer. The race routes are contained within Berry College, beginning and ending at the Mount Berry campus along Martha Berry Highway. This race series serves as the main fundraising effort for Berry College Elementary & Middle School, supporting facility and technology improvements, curriculum development, and scholarships. This school affiliation is evident on race day through the numerous volunteers assisting with packet preparation, runner registration, aid stations, course monitoring, traffic direction, refreshment provision, and medal distribution. The event has been held for almost twenty years, recording over 22,500 finishers and more than 107,000 race miles accumulated throughout its history.
