RoofMen Charity 5K & 1 Mile Walk

RoofMen Charity 5K & 1 Mile Walk takes place in Kingston, Georgia, on November 7, 2026. Both events go off together at 8 a.m.: the 5K (3.1 miles) run and a one-mile walk. Sharing a start line means the first few hundred yards will be busy, so line up according to what you are actually doing.

The pairing makes this a convenient race for a group of mixed abilities, since nobody spends the morning waiting for anyone else. If you are running the 5K, a simultaneous start with walkers is a good argument for getting to the front early and running your own pace from the gun. For preparation, three or four easy runs a week over the preceding month is enough for the 5K, and the mile walk needs nothing more than showing up in comfortable shoes.
