Hops & Huff 5K brings together a love of running and craft beer in the heart of North Georgia. Hosted by Cartecay River Brewing Company, this fun and festive 5K features a flat, fast course through Ellijay, making it an excellent option for runners and walkers of all experience levels.
All registered 5K participants will receive one complimentary pour at the brewery following the race (participants must be 21 years or older to redeem). It is the perfect way to cool down, celebrate your finish, and enjoy the community atmosphere.
Competitive athletes will have plenty to race for as well. Awards will be presented to the Top 3 Male and Female Overall finishers, including Masters, Grand Masters, and Senior Masters. In addition, awards will be given in the standard five-year age groups from 10 & Under through 80+.
Whether you are chasing a personal best or simply looking for a great run capped off with a well-earned brew, Hops & Huff 5K delivers a spirited race-day experience from start to finish.
