Cash Cow 5K

Cash Cow 5K takes place in Lawrenceville, Georgia, on February 6, 2027. The event runs a single distance, a 5K (3.1 miles), with the start at 8:00 a.m., which puts you back home before most of the morning is gone.

Short, single-distance races like this one are the backbone of a running year. There is no crowd management to navigate, no wave assignments to decode, and no logistical planning beyond showing up early enough to warm up. If you are training for something longer this spring, drop it into a normal week without a taper and treat it as a hard workout with a bib number. If the 5K is your goal race, the last three weeks should include one session of repeats at a pace slightly faster than you intend to race, with full recoveries between them.
