Lula Lake Trail Blazer

The Lula Lake Trail Blazer is a trail-running race series held on Lula Lake Land Trust property, spanning Lookout Mountain. Established in 2019, it provides 10K, half marathon, and 50K distances for participants seeking dirt paths, ascents, and marked singletrack over a road-race format. The routes incorporate Lula Lake trail systems connected to over 40 miles of trails constructed by the land trust, featuring the Moonshine trails, Cloudland Connector Trail, and Durham Mine Trails. Proceeds from entry fees support trail upkeep, new trail development, and the land trust’s conservation efforts. The event also includes food, beverages, live music, a Friday campout with a bonfire and headlamp warm-up run, and a 21-and-over beer mile consisting of four beers and four laps on a gravel-road circuit.

Salute to Veterans 5K/10K/Half Marathon - Atlanta

The Salute to Veterans 5K/10K/Half Marathon is a trail race starting at AMC Theatres in Kennesaw, near Atlanta. Runners may select the 5K, 10K, or half marathon. Veterans may enter without charge by showing a government-issued veteran ID. The course follows local trails instead of city streets, focusing on off-road running with multiple distance choices. All finishers get a custom award, participants receive race shirts, and prizes are awarded to overall winners and age-group runners in five-year categories.

Smyrna Village 10K

The Smyrna Village 10K is a road race held in November in Smyrna, Georgia, organized annually by MARC. It begins and ends at the Smyrna Community Center, offering runners access to indoor restrooms and a pre-race gathering spot with coffee. This race is a flat, fast 10K and qualifies participants for the Peachtree Road Race; runners and walkers of all ages and paces are welcome. The course follows Atlanta Road out and back, with a turn near Cumberland Boulevard, before returning to the Community Center. Awards are presented to the top male and female finishers, top masters runners, and age-group winners in five-year categories. Elite Race Timing manages the results. The event also features convenient parking, packet and shirt distribution, spectator support, music before and after the run, quality shirts, race-day photography, and benefits the Smyrna Public Safety Foundation, the Smyrna Education Foundation, and BSA Troop 11.

Early Bird Turkey Trot 5K, 10K, 15K, & Half Marathon

The Early Bird Turkey Trot takes place on the Saturday before Thanksgiving in Kennesaw and Marietta, offering in-person 5K, 10K, 15K, and half marathon races. The same distances are available virtually, allowing participation remotely. This event is part of the Five Star NTP race series and serves as an early iteration of the organizer’s Thanksgiving Turkey Trot, providing an opportunity to run before the holiday. The race originated from a Five Star NTP custom of offering a complimentary 5K entry to returning runners: those who completed any of the organizer’s races between early December and mid-November qualify for one in-person Turkey Trot 5K entry. Participants not qualifying can still register for a modest fee. Shirts, hoodies, and finisher medals are available as optional purchases, not included automatically. The event relies on local charity and volunteer assistance, with a charity partner receiving donations and volunteers earning free future races for their morning's work.

2026 Run for the Children 5K 10K and Fun Run

Run for the Children is an annual race morning at Etowah River Park in Canton, Georgia, featuring a 5K run/walk, a 10K run, a Fun Run, and a Santa’s Helper option for those who want to support the event without racing. The Service League of Cherokee County hosts it, with a schedule designed for families as much as runners: the Fun Run starts first, followed by the 5K and 10K together. The event maintains a practical and local format. The 5K and 10K are timed by BT Race Timing, but are not chip timed; finishers submit a card with their name, age, bib number, and gender to appear in results and qualify for awards. The 5K and 10K offer awards for overall winners, masters winners, and age groups from 10 and under through 80 and over, while Fun Run finishers receive a commemorative ribbon. Schools have an additional incentive to bring participants, with a cash prize for the school with the most attendees, and runners receive bananas and water post-race.

Berry Half/10K/5K

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.

About 10K races in Rome, Georgia

Rome, GA Training Notes

Rome, Georgia hosts 13 10K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals run Rome like a foothills town, with river miles, campus loops, and short climbs always close. Berry College gives you a great track and tons of out and back trails, plus the Berry Half Marathon when you want an anchor race. The AdventHealth Redmond ECO Greenway gives runners a 16-mile multi-purpose trail system along the riverfront. Wire2Wire Running Club-ROME keeps the week honest with Monday runs at 6:02pm. The Rome club rotates through Barron Stadium, GoGo Running store, Berry College, and Downtown Rome at Bridgepoint Plaza. A Race to Remember 5K, Dellinger Dash 3K, and the gary tillman memorial clocktower 5k road race keep the calendar moving.

Cyclists ride Rome for Z2 river spins, gravel days, and climbing that shows up fast. The AdventHealth ECO Greenway keeps easy base miles paved and close to Downtown Rome. S. Bicycle Route 21 and the Rome Spur use mostly two-lane country roads through Cave Spring and Rome. Blossom Hill Trail gives intermediate mountain bikers a 2-mile loop with narrow, rolling terrain. Jackson Hill Trails gives singletrack riders a 5-mile system of undulating, unpaved trails just off Downtown Rome. The route covers 7 km with 1,348 meters of gain. The brief names Spin For Special OPS, not a local cycling club, as the anchor ride.

Spring and fall are the best training blocks here, with March through May and September through November feeling right for long runs, gran fondo prep, and steady Z2. Summer brings humid subtropical heat, so locals lean on shaded trail systems, riverfront miles, and earlier starts. A canopy of trees covers the trail system, and that matters on warm, sunny days. Winter still lets runners and riders get out because cold temps are generally not extreme. Wire2Wire keeps the rain-or-shine mindset, and locals just swap some intensity for steadier base miles when dark hits early.
