About the Event

Join us for a refreshing summer tradition in the heart of Cordele! The Watermelon Festival Fun Run, proudly sponsored by Destiny Fitness, is back and better than ever. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just looking for some family-friendly fun, this event offers something for everyone with a timed 5K race and a laid-back 1-mile fun run.

Celebrate health, community, and—of course—juicy Georgia watermelons as we kick off the festivities of the beloved Cordele Watermelon Festival. All participants will receive a commemorative race shirt, and those who cross the finish line will enjoy sweet post-race watermelon slices and refreshments.

Awards will be given to top finishers in each age group for the 5K. Walkers, strollers, and runners of all levels are welcome!
Don’t miss out on the fun, fitness, and flavor—sign up today and run with us for a slice of summer!
