Miles for Moms 5K

Lace up for a meaningful morning at the Miles for Moms 5K, set to take place on Saturday, May 2, 2026, in the vibrant city of Athens, Georgia. This impactful event offers a 5K distance, welcoming runners and walkers of all abilities to gather at the East Georgia Cancer Coalition Office, located at 315 Riverbend Road. The course itself features a unique four-loop design, starting and finishing at the building's loading dock area, with clear cones and arrows guiding participants along the way. Typical race day conditions in early May often bring pleasant weather, with highs around 79°F and lows around 55°F, and only a 12% chance of precipitation, providing an ideal setting for your run or walk.

More than just a race, the Miles for Moms 5K serves a profound cause, with 100% of its proceeds dedicated to supporting the East Georgia Cancer Coalition's vital programs and services for cancer patients across a 53-county region. This long-standing event, celebrating its 12th annual iteration, is renowned for its community spirit and commitment to increasing cancer awareness. Participants have the special opportunity to run or walk in honor or memory of a loved one affected by cancer, culminating their race journey with a moment of reflection in the tranquil Memory Garden after crossing the finish line.

Join this uplifting event that fosters both fitness and philanthropy. The Miles for Moms 5K promises an engaging atmosphere where every stride contributes to a crucial mission, celebrating community, support for mothers, and the fight against cancer.
