Lace up your shoes for the 11th Annual Love Run 5K, set to take place on Saturday, February 28, 2026, in the vibrant heart of Decatur, Georgia. This popular 5K road race offers runners and walkers a "fast-paced course through historic downtown Decatur", kicking off promptly at 8:30 a.m. from the iconic Decatur Square. Participants can expect a scenic route that is also an official AJC Peachtree Road Race qualifier, making it an excellent opportunity to achieve a qualifying time or simply enjoy a rewarding run. Typical race day conditions in late February offer pleasant running weather, with highs around 60F and lows near 39F, accompanied by a modest 17% chance of precipitation.

More than just a race, the Love Run 5K stands out for its profound mission. Organized by the DeKalb County District Attorney, the event commemorates Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month and dedicates all proceeds to the Women's Resource Center to End Domestic Violence. Since its inception in 2016, the race has raised over $80,000 for this vital cause, establishing itself as a cherished community tradition. Every registered runner receives a signature long-sleeved shirt and a finisher's medal, with the added perk of a $10 off coupon for Big Peach Running Co. at packet pickup.

The Love Run 5K is renowned for its welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere. Packet pickup is conveniently available the day before the race at Big Peach Running Co. Decatur, as well as on race day at the Decatur Square start/finish area. Groups of ten or more can also enjoy a 10% discount on registration, fostering a sense of camaraderie as you run for a cause.
