EquiSol Race Series (A Park for All Seasons) - Fall Equinox 5k

Lace up for the inaugural EquiSol Race Series (A Park for All Seasons) - Fall Equinox 5k, hitting the scenic trails of Rabbit Hill Park in Dacula, GA, on Sunday, September 20, 2026. This 3.1-mile event offers a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in the great outdoors and contribute to a worthy cause, as all proceeds benefit the Gwinnett Parks Foundation. As the third installment in a unique four-race series, held around each equinox and solstice, participants will embark on an exploration of Gwinnett County's diverse park system.

Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions in Dacula during September, with highs around 81°F and lows around 63°F, and about a 13-17% chance of precipitation, ensuring a comfortably warm yet invigorating start to fall. What truly sets this race apart is the collectible medal; each medal in the EquiSol series is designed to magnetically link with the others, eventually forming a distinctive map of Gwinnett County parks. Early birds will be rewarded, as the first 200 registrants receive their unique finisher medals on-site. Packet pick-up begins at 6:30 AM, with the race officially kicking off at 8:00 AM, and restrooms conveniently located near the pavilion at Rabbit Hill Park.

The EquiSol Race Series is more than just a competition; it's a celebration of community, fitness, and local green spaces. Whether you're a seasoned runner aiming for a new personal best or looking for a memorable 5k experience with friends and family, this event promises a lively atmosphere and the satisfaction of supporting the Gwinnett Parks Foundation's mission to enhance park and recreation opportunities for all. Gather your running crew, as you can even receive a $20 refund when you refer five other participants to join in the fun.
