Made in the USA Half Marathon

Lace up your running shoes for a patriotic celebration at the Made in the USA Half Marathon, 15K, and 10K, taking place on Saturday, June 27, 2026, in scenic Sugar Hill, GA. This popular pre-Fourth of July event is known for its festive atmosphere, inviting runners to honor the USA on a "fast and flat" road course that winds along the beautiful Greenway. Starting and finishing next to the iconic Sugar Hill Distillery, the 10K, 15K, and Half Marathon distances follow an out-and-back route, with the half marathon completing a double loop. While generally flat, some runners have noted a mile-long uphill section towards the finish, offering a late-race challenge. The course is also praised for being generally shaded, which can be a welcome relief given typical race day conditions often see highs around 88F and lows around 69F, with a 16% chance of precipitation.

Runners can expect well-supported aid stations, providing both water and Gatorade at every stop, ensuring you stay hydrated throughout your race. A unique highlight of this event is the complimentary registration offered to all active duty military personnel and first responders as a tribute to their service. Participants will receive great shirts and impressive finisher medals, with custom-stamped medals for the first 500 registrants as part of a patriotic series. Come celebrate America's birthday with a memorable run, enjoying a well-produced event in a charming small-town setting.
