Lace up for a patriotic celebration on the run at the Made in the USA 5K/10K/15K/Half Marathon, set to take place on Saturday, June 27, 2026, in the charming city of Sugar Hill, GA. This event offers distances for every runner, including a 5K, 10K, 15K, and a Half Marathon (13.1M). What truly sets this race apart is its heartfelt tribute to service: all active duty military and first responders receive complimentary race entry, a unique way to honor those who serve.

Runners will experience a picturesque journey along the beautiful Sugar Hill Greenway, a paved trail renowned for its smooth and scenic environment. The course is generally shaded, offering some respite from the summer sun. While much of the course is described as "fast and flat" by some, Half Marathon participants should be prepared for an uphill finish, as noted by past runners. All races begin and conclude near the Sugar Hill Distillery, with the 5K running a certified course and the longer distances following an out-and-back route, with the Half Marathon being a double loop. Aid stations are well-supported, providing water and Gatorade approximately every 1.5 miles to keep you hydrated.

As you cross the finish line, all participants will be celebrated with a custom finisher medal, with the first 500 registrants receiving a special stamped design as part of a Patriotic Series. Top three male and female finishers across various age groups will also earn awards in all four race distances. Typical race day conditions in late June bring highs around 88°F and lows around 69°F, with a 16% chance of precipitation, making the shaded course a welcome feature. Participants can also utilize the RaceJoy app for live tracking and encouraging cheers.
