Rails-to-Trails 5k

🏃‍♂️ Race Overview

New for 2025 ONLY: Due to construction in the Tunnel and work proceeding on the rail-trail, this year's 5k has been moved to Barnesville High School, 910 Shamrock Drive. Past Participants have become accustomed to a flat, fast course with a downhill start. This year, they will face a little more of a challenging up-and-down course. While the course may have changed, the race benefits certainly have not:

🏆 Award Structure

• Trophies: We offer more trophies (nearly 150!) in more divisions.
• Divisions: Includes a Masters division in both the Run and Walk, a unique Dog-Walking Division, a Hand Cyclist/Wheelchair Division, and scores of Age Groups.
• Quality: These unique, beautifully hand-crafted trophies, featuring an authentic railroad spike, were once mentioned in Runner's World magazine and are highly sought-after!

🍕 Food and Refreshments

• Variety: We also have a HUGE smorgasbord of delicious food including pizza, our homemade Carlito's subs, and deli-fresh sandwiches.
• Treats: Enjoy Donley's Delicious Delights homemade cookies and Jessica's famous pasta salad!
• Expectations: If you leave this race hungry, it's your own fault!

🎟️ Prizes and Participation

• Door Prizes: We collect lots of door prizes! With approximately 200 participants, your odds of winning a trophy or a door prize are pretty good!
• T-Shirts: The first 200 registrants receive are guaranteed a Tech shirt. Sizes only guaranteed to Early Bird preregistered: after that, it's 1st come, 1st serve so register early!
• Reorders: Shirts can be reordered if registration numbers dictate.

👦 Kids Fun Run
