Fausett Farms Sunflower 5K

Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of Fausett Farms Sunflowers this fall with the annual Dawson County Chamber of Commerce-presented Fausett Farms Sunflower 5K and Fun Run on October 10, 2026. This family-friendly event offers runners a unique opportunity to experience the stunning sunflower fields that have become one of Georgia's most Instagrammed spots.
Participants will start their journey through miles of vibrant yellow blooms at sunrise, with options for both competitive athletes and casual strollers. The main attraction is the challenging yet rewarding 5K route which winds around thousands of towering sunflowers, featuring a notable climb halfway through to test endurance. For younger participants or those looking for an easier adventure, there's also a delightful one-mile fun run that meanders alongside the colorful fields.
Post-race festivities include exploring Fausett Farms further on foot, capturing perfect family photos against the backdrop of endless swaying sunflowers. Just minutes away lies Burt's Pumpkin Farm and Amicalola Falls State Park with its majestic cascading waterfall – a natural wonder not to be missed.
Awards and amenities are plentiful for all who participate: each runner receives breakfast snacks, coffee, an event t-shirt, and a finisher gift upon completion. To cap off the morning’s activities, enjoy a Chick-fil-A biscuit post-run treat while basking in your achievement.
Registration closes on October 7th at midnight with no day-of entries accepted to ensure smooth organization for this memorable event. Don't miss out; register now through UltraSignUp and join us as we celebrate nature's splendor together!
