Together We Honor 5k Run

Together We Honor 5k Run is run in Donalsonville, Georgia, on December 5, 2026, with a single 5K (3.1 miles) starting early at 7:00 AM. That sunrise start is the defining detail: you will be lining up in the dark-to-dawn transition typical of a south Georgia winter morning, when temperatures are cool and the air is still.

Three point one miles rewards a short, focused preparation. Four to six weeks of consistent easy running will carry a beginner to the finish line running most of the way, while anyone chasing a personal best should hold their weekly mileage steady and add one interval session per week, resisting the urge to race every training run. Given the early gun time, practice waking up and running within an hour or two at least once in the weeks beforehand so that race morning feels familiar rather than jarring.
