Lace up for a meaningful stride at the 24th Annual Run for Angels & Chicken-Q, taking place on Saturday, February 7, 2026, in picturesque Newnan, Georgia. This highly respected and well-attended event offers both a challenging 10K and a popular 5K, along with a 1-Mile Fun Run, drawing hundreds of participants from across the Southeast. Runners will enjoy a certified, fast, and flat road course that winds through Newnan's charming historic downtown and beautiful neighborhoods, even serving as a Peachtree Road Race qualifier. Typical race day conditions in early February bring comfortable highs around 58°F and lows around 35°F, with a minimal 16% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

Beyond the scenic route and competitive atmosphere, what truly makes Run for Angels unique is its heartwarming mission. This event serves as the sole annual fundraiser for Angel's House, a licensed community-based children's shelter that has provided over 40,000 restful nights and vital services to hundreds of foster teenage girls since its inception in 2003. Your participation directly supports these girls, transforming every step into an act of profound community spirit. The festivities kick off near the First United Methodist Church Parish Hall at 33 Greenville St S, which also serves as the start and finish line on Salbide Ave.

The experience extends beyond the finish line with a delightful post-race celebration. Runners can look forward to medals for top finishers across various age groups, music, and an eagerly anticipated Chicken-Q by Ellison's. This family-friendly event welcomes walkers and strollers on the course, creating an inclusive and supportive atmosphere for all. Join the Run for Angels & Chicken-Q to challenge yourself on a beloved local course while contributing to a vital cause in the Newnan-Coweta community.
