Clover Glove - A Trio of May Holiday Runs

Prepare for a unique and flexible running experience with the Clover Glove - A Trio of May Holiday Runs, a virtual event celebrating fitness and community while supporting Georgia 4-H. Taking place from May 1st to May 11th, 2026, this series allows you to participate from anywhere, though it is affiliated with Athens, GA. Choose from three distinct distances: a spirited 5K, a competitive 4K, or a fun 1.25-mile challenge. Each distance is themed around a May holiday, offering a Cinco de Mayo 5K to celebrate Mexican-American culture, a "Run for the Clovers" 1.25 Miles where you can compare your pace to a Kentucky Derby winner, and a Mother's Day 4K to honor mothers everywhere.

As a cornerstone event within the well-established Clover Glove Race Series, founded in 2010 by Bo Ryles and Roger Keel, this trio of runs continues the tradition of fostering camaraderie among runners and generating vital funds for Georgia 4-H members. The series is renowned for bringing runners together for a good cause, making every stride count towards supporting youth programs. While you can complete your run wherever you choose, typical conditions in Athens, GA, for early May see highs around 79°F and lows around 54°F, with a modest 12% chance of precipitation, offering pleasant weather for those opting to run locally. Participants will submit their finish times online, earning Black Bag and Clover Glove points, making it an engaging way to stay active and contribute to a meaningful cause.
