2026 The Truth is Out There 1M 5K 10K 13.1 26.2

Prepare for an out-of-this-world running experience with the 2026 The Truth is Out There 1M 5K 10K 13.1 26.2 virtual race! This unique event invites "earthlings" to participate in their chosen distance—1 Mile, 5K, 10K, Half Marathon (13.1M), or Full Marathon (26.2M)—anytime throughout March 2026. Inspired by Alien Abductions Day on March 20th, this race dares you to "run to, or from, the UFO's!".

As a virtual race, you have the flexibility to select your own course, whether it's a scenic trail, a familiar neighborhood path, a treadmill, or even another race. This means you decide the terrain and elevation, making it perfectly tailored to your training and preferences. While the race is listed in McDonough, GA, participants can complete their chosen distance from any location, timing themselves and reporting their finishing time. March offers typical spring running conditions, with highs around 65°F and lows around 42°F, along with a 16% chance of precipitation, providing a comfortable backdrop for your run.

Beyond the fun, alien-themed challenge, the 2026 The Truth is Out There race carries a significant charitable component. At least 15% of every registration is donated to charity, supporting MS Awareness Month. Participants receive a commemorative medal and bib, shipped directly to them, as a tangible reward for their achievement and contribution. Join fellow runners in this "seventh annual" event, embrace the mystery, and run for a great cause!
