Get ready to celebrate the longest day of the year with the EquiSol Race Series (A Park for All Seasons) - Summer Solstice 5k! This exciting 3.1-mile event takes place on Saturday, June 20, 2026, at the scenic McDaniel Farm Park in Duluth, GA. Kicking off promptly at 8:00 AM, following packet pick-up from 6:30 AM to 8:00 AM, this race offers runners a beautiful course to experience Gwinnett County's natural beauty. Typical race day conditions in late June bring highs around 89°F and lows around 68°F, with a 15% chance of precipitation, making for a warm summer morning run. Restrooms are conveniently located near the parking lot for participants.
What truly sets the EquiSol Race Series apart is its innovative approach to celebrating local parks and rewarding runners. As the second of four unique races in 2026, each event in the series coincides with an equinox or solstice. Participants will collect magnetically linked finisher medals that, when combined, create a stunning map of Gwinnett County's beautiful parks. This race not only promises a rewarding personal challenge but also contributes to a greater cause, as proceeds benefit the Gwinnett Parks Foundation.
While this is a new race series for 2026, meaning there are no past runner reviews available yet, the unique medal series and support for local parks create a compelling reason to join. The first 200 runners to register are guaranteed to receive their medal on-site, and there's an incentive to share the experience, with a $20 refund offered for every five referrals. Lace up your shoes and be part of this inaugural journey, exploring McDaniel Farm Park and collecting a piece of Gwinnett County with your achievement.
