Piedmont - Cartersville Breast Cancer Boo Run 5K

Piedmont - Cartersville Breast Cancer Boo Run 5K is held in Cartersville, Georgia, on October 31, 2026. The 5K, 3.1 miles, starts at 9:00 a.m., and a one-mile wellness walk follows ten minutes later at 9:10 a.m. Both belong to the same breast cancer awareness morning.

Pairing a 5K with a one-mile walk makes this easy to enter as a group: anyone who wants to race can, and anyone who would rather walk still gets a start line and a finish. For the 5K, a month of running three or four times a week is enough for most people, with one session of faster repeats added if you have a time in mind. Walkers need no preparation beyond being comfortable on their feet for 20 to 30 minutes, and the ten-minute stagger means you can watch the runners go before you set off.
