Veterans Day Freedom Run 5K/10K/13.1 ATLANTA

Veterans Day Freedom Run 5K/10K/13.1 ATLANTA takes place in Atlanta, Georgia, on November 14, 2026. Every distance goes off at 7:30 a.m.: the 13.1-mile half marathon, the 10K, the 5K and a 1-mile family fun run. Timing is optional, and each finisher receives a gift bag of running items that includes a race shirt and a medal.

Entries are capped, and the event is built around fundraising for a charity of your choice, which changes how you might approach the day. The half rewards a proper build if you plan to race it, but with timing left as a choice you can also treat it as a long training run at conversational effort. The 10K and 5K sit comfortably inside most weekly routines, and the mile gives family members a way to be on the course rather than watching from the curb.
