2024 AthFest Educates 5K
November 2, 2024
Bring your friends and family to enjoy this family-friendly run! A 5K is a great event to involve the whole family.
The 5K takes place on Saturday, November 2, 2024 at 2:30 PM. The start line for the 5K is on Foundry Street right in front of The Classic Center Pavilion, which is where we’ll also be holding the AthHalf Health and Fitness Expo on Saturday, Nov. 2nd. The course makes a loop and runners will enjoy a run through downtown, Athens’ historic Boulevard neighborhood, and down Prince Avenue before finishing back in front of The Classic Center Pavilion.
Registered runners can find all pertinent race information here. (Updated Runner Packet coming soon)
