Recurring 5K races near Rome, Georgia

Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

Lance's Legacy 5k and Fun Run

Lance's Legacy 5K and Fun Run is a fundraising run in Dalton, Georgia, starting from 652 Haig Mill Lake Road. It offers a 5K and a fun run, with a $30 registration fee for runners supporting the cause. The event is organized by Lance's Legacy, a nonprofit created in memory of Lance Sotelo, a runner from the Dalton and Charlotte running communities who died while out on a run. The race is held on Lance's birthday and raises money for scholarships for high school and college runners. These scholarships are for athletes who show perseverance, acceptance, and love, the qualities his family chose to carry forward through the nonprofit. The day also includes a live DJ, food vendors, inflatables, and awards, structured as both a community fundraiser and a family-friendly race day.

The Lucky Dog Race for Recovery 5K

The Lucky Dog Walk for Recovery begins and ends at The Stone Summit in Kennesaw, Georgia, covering a 5K on the Noonday Creek trail. This October event serves as a community walk focused on addiction awareness, homelessness awareness, and support for individuals in recovery. Participants are encouraged to bring their canine companions, alongside human friends. The course follows a straightforward out-and-back path originating from The Stone Summit, concluding with music, food, and awards. The walk is named in honor of Lucky, a dog gifted to The Extension by a volunteer. Lucky resided at the men's campus, providing comfort to residents for years. Subsequently, the organization named its softball team The Lucky Dogs, and a costumed Lucky Dog mascot now attends softball games and other gatherings.

Cobb County 5K benefiting Make a Wish Georgia

The Cobb County 5K begins at Marietta Square, raising funds for Make-A-Wish Georgia. Proceeds support granting wishes for children in Cobb County with critical illnesses. This 5-kilometer race offers timed and untimed options, alongside a donation-only Phantom Runner choice for those wishing to support the cause without participating in the run. The morning also features a 1K Fun Run for young children, providing a shorter race for families before the main 5K. Festivities commence early, with the 1K starting first, followed by the 5K from the square. The 5K course winds through Marietta streets, including Cherokee Street, Church Street, Freyer Drive, Pine Street, and Allgood Road. It then loops back downtown via Chicopee Drive and Church Street before returning to Cherokee Street. As a Peachtree Road Race qualifying event, runners seeking an official qualifying time have an incentive to start near the front. Teams of nine or more receive a reduced registration rate, and special pricing is available for teachers, students, and school groups. All finishers get a T-shirt, the winning T-shirt designer receives a plaque, and Wish Kids present medals to the winners.

The Great Monster Hustle and The Mystery Distance

Apple Festival 5K

The Apple Festival 5K takes place in Ellijay, Georgia, on the morning of the Georgia Apple Festival. It includes a 5K, a one-mile fun run, and a virtual 5K option. The Ellijay Lions Club organizes this event, which is one of Georgia's longest-running 5Ks. The race details reflect a local event rather than a large-scale production. BT Race Timing manages the results, but chip timing is not used; finishers submit a card with their name, age, bib number, and gender. Awards are given to overall winners, masters, grand masters, and in five-year age groups from 10-and-under up to 80-and-over. Refreshments are available post-race, and free parking is offered around Ellijay Elementary School before festival road closures commence.

Historic Roswell 5K

Mableton Pumpkin Chase

The Mableton Pumpkin Chase is a 3.1-mile run or walk starting at the Mable House Barnes Amphitheatre in Mableton, Georgia. This Halloween-themed 5K welcomes runners, walkers, families, and individuals of all fitness levels; costumes are encouraged but not mandatory. The course begins and ends near the amphitheatre at 5239 Floyd Rd SW, incorporating a candy hunt into the standard 5K. A pumpkin runner might appear along the route with one of 50 candy bags, and the Wicked Witch will be at the finish with a cauldron of candy. The event also features a Kids Race with limited entry, post-race fitness demonstrations including yoga, bootcamp, strength training, and powerlifting, and benefits the It Starts With Me 2 Foundation.

Tina's Cat Run is an October benefit road race in Ball Ground, Georgia, offering a 5K, a 1 Mile Fun Run, and a virtual option. The race starts at Ball Ground City Park on Old Canton Road, near Main Street behind the Burger Bus. Cat Run Inc. organizes it as a charitable nonprofit event, with proceeds benefiting the Cherokee Family Violence Center and North Georgia shelter initiatives. The morning follows a small-town schedule: packet pickup and race-day registration open early at the park. The National Anthem and a prayer are offered at the start line before the 5K begins. The Fun Run follows, with medals presented as finishers cross the line, and Tina speaks before the awards ceremony. The race raises funds for local shelters and highlights domestic violence awareness, functioning as a community benefit day rather than a standard timed 5K.

Apex- Halloween Hustle 5k

The Apex Halloween Hustle 5k begins at the City Rec Department on Lumpkin Drive in Carrollton, Georgia. A kids’ Minion’s Mile takes place before the 5k. The 3.1-mile Halloween run has approximately 250 feet of total elevation, making it manageable for newer runners while still offering a challenge for experienced participants. The route travels from the City Rec Department through wooded areas, past Castle Playground and the East Carrollton soccer fields, to a turnaround at the Log Cabin. The event incorporates Halloween elements with decorations, music, fog machines, a costume contest, complimentary cotton candy, and complimentary popcorn. The format accommodates runners, walkers, step counters, children, first-time 5k participants, and faster athletes. The course provides park benches and hydration stations for breaks.

The WineSTEM 5K is a professionally timed 5K run/walk in New Hope, Pennsylvania, followed by a wine festival. It is part of the Run Now Wine Later series, featuring a simple format: complete the course, receive an official time if desired, and then enjoy the post-race gathering. The course is set in New Hope, a small river town in Bucks County. The race welcomes both runners and walkers, not exclusively competitive 5K racers. Registration provides a finisher medal, a race shirt available in unisex and women's sizes, entry to the post-race gathering, and a complimentary glass of wine from Olde Stone or Greenhouse.

The Great Pumpkin Run 5K - MTNA-Rainsville

The Great Pumpkin Run is an annual 5K and Fun Run in Rainsville, Alabama, based at 189 RTI Drive. It is a Halloween-season community race rather than a large destination event, with a 5K for the main field and a separate Fun Run for children ages 9 and under. All proceeds from the 5K go to the DeKalb County Children's Advocacy Center, supporting abused children in DeKalb County. Overall male and female winners receive cash prizes, and the event keeps registration simple: pre-registration is cheaper than race-day sign-up, which closes early in the morning.

Kennesaw Grand Prix Race Series: Nightmare on Main 5K

The Nightmare on Main 5K concludes the Kennesaw Grand Prix Race Series. This 5K takes place on paved streets in downtown Kennesaw, suitable for both novice 5K participants and those aiming for a personal best to cap off the series. The race's distinctive character comes from its Halloween theme. Participants are invited to wear costumes as they run through town. As the Grand Prix's final event, it provides a lighthearted conclusion to the series, differing from a typical road race finale.

About 5K races in Rome, Georgia

Rome, GA Training Notes

Rome, Georgia hosts 65 5K 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.
