5K RUN for the KIDS!

WELCOME to our 2nd Annual 5K RUN for the KIDS! We are hoping, with your support, that we can make this an even BIGGER event in support of our GREAT charities, the Georgia Sheriffs' Youth Homes https://www.georgiasheriffsyouth.org/ , the Georgia Masonic Children's Home https://masonichomeofgeorgia.com/ , The Shriner's Hospital  https://www.shrinerschildrens.org/en , the YMCA of Winder  https://gapiedmontymca.org/ and other Masonic Children's Charities. 

This year's race is dedicated to Janis G. Mangum of the Jackson County Sheriff's Office.  Sheriff Mangum has served Jackson County for over 31 years and is retiring this year.  The Citizens and Masons of Jackson County commend Sheriff Mangum for her year's of dedicated service to Jackson County and Georgia and for being "A Sheriff of the People."  You will be missed Sheriff Mangum.

This year's race will be in beautiful downtown Hoschton, Georgia (same as before). This family-friendly event is open to runners and walkers of all levels.  This run is now an official Atlanta Journal/Constitution Peachtree Road Race Qualifying Event (Course ID# GA18038DJ).
