Paladin Pacer 5K Trail Race

The Paladin Pacer 5K Trail Race takes place in late summer at Pinecrest Academy in Cumming, Georgia. The 68-acre campus offers a short off-road course featuring shade, dirt paths, grass, and hills, providing a cross-country feel distinct from a road 5K. The event features a 1 Mile kids run where over 150 children complete three laps of the school driveway, with ample viewing for parents. Participants include athletes, teachers, missionaries, and neighbors, with the atmosphere ranging from relaxed to competitive. While listed on the Atlanta Track Club's Community Calendar, the race is organized by external parties.
