About the Event
What better way to start the Holidays than with a chance to run through the Holiday Light Display! Our 5K race will start the 2024 Annual Holiday Season's Christmas Light Display to the Public at Cherokee County Veteran's Park. It begins at sundown, and you will see the lights illuminate as you progress through the course, finishing through a massive tunnel of lights to the finish line.
Event Details
Head lamp or light is suggested. The 5K in-person event will be chip timed! Awesome race shirt guaranteed in your size with registration until 11/3/24. Afterwards, shirts will be available while supplies last. All finishers will receive a participant medal.

Course Information
Our Peachtree Qualifier course (USATF Course #GA20006DJ) is 100% inside of Veteran's Park, wonderfully flat, fast, and chip timed. We have the entire Veteran's Memorial Park in Canton, so there won't be any traffic beeping to pressure you to run faster. You can race through, do a leisurely jog, or walk the 5K course, starting at 6 PM.
Parking Information
Parking is off-site at Revolution Church with shuttle service available. We encourage everyone to use off-site parking. Shuttles will begin at 4 PM for registration and pre-race activities and continue after the race returning runners and guests to the parking.
