Labor Day 5K/10K/15K

About the Event

Celebrate the spirit of hard work and hometown heroes at the Labor Day 5K/10K/15K — a race dedicated to honoring the brave men and women who serve as our First Responders.

We will gather in Kennesaw, GA for this meaningful Labor Day event which recognizes firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMTs, paramedics, dispatchers, and medical professionals who protect and serve our communities every day. Whether you’re running in support of a loved one, racing alongside a local hero, or participating as a First Responder yourself, this event is about gratitude, strength, and unity.

Participants may choose from three distances — 5K, 10K, or 15K — making it accessible for runners and walkers of all levels. All First Responders receive a free race entry as a small token of appreciation for their service. Valid ID must be presented at bib pickup to confirm eligibility.

All athletes who cross the finish line will earn a custom finisher medal, and awards will be presented to the top three male and female finishers in each distance in the standard five-year age groups, beginning with 10 & Under.

This Labor Day, don’t just take the day off — lace up, show up, and run with purpose as we honor those who answer the call when it matters most.
