This year, we're celebrating Say’s love for Halloween with an event packed with spooky thrills, family fun, yummy food and delicious treats! 🤩
Since the race is on Halloween, we REALLY want you to come in costumes!!! And YES! We will absolutely be having a costume contest! Bonus points for creativity of course! 🙌
There is a spot for everyone at the race! We will have a 5K run, a 1 mile fun run, a Tot Trot for the littles, and if none of that sounds fun (is running fun?! 😂) this year we have a ghost runner option!! 👻 You'll get all the perks of the race, without having to run or even needing to be there in person!
Here’s the online link for our registration this year 🙌 https://runsignup.com/Race/GA/Ellijay/SayStrong5K.
We are really excited to announce that this year the 5K will be officially timed by BT Race Timing! 🥳 We already have Terry our AMAZING DJ coming, along with some great food trucks and activities 🥰 Bring your own chair and stay for some great music, food, trick or treating, and yard games!
To be honest, the holidays this year have been tough. Experiencing so much life without Say by our side has been hard. We really want to be able to gather with our community to honor Say for Halloween. I think this is what she would have wanted us to do! 💜🫶
God put it on our hearts to adopt a room at the Ronald McDonald House in Atlanta. The room adoption allows families to stay there free of charge while their sweet kids are in the hospital. We really benefited from this, and wanted to be a part of helping other families through some of the most difficult times of their lives. The cost for the room adoption is $50,000 paid over the next few years and all proceeds from the race will go towards the funding of the room permanently. 💜 If you would like to sponsor our race, here’s the link for our sponsorship form: https://forms.gle/VNvakvVq1tvBu9vdA
If you would like to be a vendor for the race please send us an email at [email protected]. We would love to chat with you! ❤️
We are so grateful to all of our family and friends who have come alongside us the past few years and loved us so deeply. God has been so good to us by giving us the most incredible community and we can’t wait to see you at the race 🥰
