And just a mile from Fausett's you will find thousands of pumpkins and goodies at Burt's Pumpkin Farm and the tallest cascading waterfall East of the Mississippi at Amicalola Falls State Park! All registered participants will receive continental style breakfast snacks and coffee, an event t-shirt, a finisher gift upon completion and a Chick-fil-A biscuit post run.

This run is being presented by the Dawson County Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Fausett Farms Sunflowers. Please note, we are dealing with mother nature and sunflowers are not guaranteed. Our 2023 and 2024 fields were gorgeous! The run will happen regardless. Over a million sunflowers will be planted throughout the season, amongst a 30+ acres of fields.
