Love Run 5K presented by DeKalb County D.A. Sherry Boston

Love Run 5K presented by DeKalb County D.A. Sherry Boston reaches its twelfth edition at Decatur, Georgia, on February 27, 2027. One distance is offered, a 5K (3.1 miles), with an unusually early start at 6:00 a.m. No elevation figure is published for the course, so ask the organizer if you want the profile before setting a target.

That 6:00 a.m. gun is the detail to plan around: you will need to be up and moving well before it, and a warm-up that would normally take fifteen minutes deserves a little longer when you have only just got out of bed. Beyond that, the 5K asks for nothing more than steady weekly running plus one session of short, fast repetitions. An early start also leaves the whole of the rest of the day free once you have finished.
