Run for Responders 5K and 1-Mile

About the Event

We at Georgia Home Partners Realty strive to give back to the community that keeps us in business! Our local firemen, law enforcement officers, and first responders sacrifice so much to protect and serve all of us here in Oconee County. This will be our 9th Annual First Responder event and due to the past success we have had in prior years, we have set a goal of $30,000 this year to give back to our local heroes. Sign up and help us meet this goal!
