Holiday 5K, 10K, 13.1M at Dacula, GA

Holiday 5K, 10K, 13.1M at Dacula, GA takes place in Dacula, Georgia, on December 5, 2026, with the 5K, the 10K and the half marathon (13.1 miles) all starting at 8:00 a.m. The routes are scenic and show off the character of the town. Every finisher collects a medal, and there are prizes for the best festive costumes, so a share of the field turns up dressed for the occasion.

Costume races are still races if you want them to be, and a road half in early December is a useful marker of where your fitness sits going into winter. Run it at controlled effort and the number tells you what to build from. If you are entering for the atmosphere instead, the 5K takes almost nothing out of your week, and a costume is easier to run three miles in than thirteen.
