Lace up your running shoes for the festive Good Friday Races, set to take place on April 3, 2026, at the picturesque Rock Eagle 4-H Center in Eatonton, GA. This vibrant event offers runners three distinct 4K experiences, catering to various preferences and ensuring a memorable start to your holiday weekend. Choose to navigate the delightful trail run, complete with hidden Easter eggs along the route, speed through the paved streets of the 4-H Center in the fast-paced street race, or embrace a modern challenge with the unique GPS 4K.

Beyond the diverse course options, the Good Friday Races stand out as a cherished part of the Keel and Ryles Holiday and Clover Glove Race Series, with all proceeds dedicated to supporting vital 4-H programs.
