"Faith over Fear" Walk/Run

"Faith over Fear" Walk/Run takes place in Athens, Georgia, on November 8, 2026. There is one distance, a 5K walk or run, and it starts in the afternoon at 2:30 p.m. That is a rare slot for a road event, and it changes your day: you will have eaten two meals before the start, so keep the last one light and finish it about three hours out.

A walk/run format means the field will spread out quickly and nobody is out of place at the back. For anyone new to the distance, alternating four minutes of running with one minute of walking is a reliable way to get through 3.1 miles without blowing up. Experienced runners can use the afternoon start to warm up thoroughly and treat it as a hard tempo effort.
