Candy Cane Course - Greater Atlanta 2026

The Candy Cane Course in Greater Atlanta is a Christmas-themed running event. The specific race location is TBD within the 30019 ZIP code. Participants can choose from a 5K, 10K, 15K, an untimed 1 Mile, a Kids Dash, a Volunteer Then Run option, or a virtual race. The main race begins after the National Anthem, with the Kids Dash starting just before for children 10 and under. The event focuses on family participation over intense competition. The 5K, 10K, and 15K include chip timing, live results, awards, a custom bib, a designer shirt, and a finisher medal. The 1 Mile offers the same bib, shirt, and medal without timing. Kids Dash participants receive a mini bib, youth shirt, and a medal designed for children; they can also run the dash for free without receiving the swag. Additional details include finish-line treats, complimentary participant photos, reduced pricing for youth ages 12 and under in the 5K and 10K, and a shirt guarantee deadline two Thursdays before race day.
