Run the Ranch at Eagle Ranch Family Fest

Lace up your running shoes and mark your calendar for the Run the Ranch at Eagle Ranch Family Fest on June 20, 2026, in scenic Flowery Branch, GA. This event offers a unique opportunity to challenge yourself while supporting a noble cause, all set against the picturesque backdrop of the 495-acre Eagle Ranch campus. Participants can choose from a chip-timed 5K, a refreshing 1.5-mile Nature Walk, or a lively 0.5-mile Fun Run, ensuring there's a distance for every age and ability.

The course for the 5K is described as challenging yet runner and walker-friendly, featuring a new, chip-timed route with shaded, tree-lined paths, paved roads, and beautiful views of pastures and lakes. Be prepared for some hilly sections and rough terrain, with a small portion of the 5K course being unpaved. Those opting for the 1.5-mile Nature Walk will enjoy a beautiful wooded trail composed of dirt, pavement, and gravel, with some uneven footing, perfect for a leisurely stroll or a brisk pace. Plenty of water stations will be available along the course to keep you hydrated. Typical race day conditions in late June bring highs around 88°F and lows around 68°F, with a 16% chance of precipitation.

Beyond the race, your registration includes free admission to the expansive Eagle Ranch Family Fest, transforming your race day into a full family celebration. The festival boasts a plethora of activities, including games, inflatables, cotton candy, food trucks, and vendors, providing entertainment for all ages. Your participation directly contributes to Eagle Ranch's mission of supporting children and families in need, making Run the Ranch more than just a race – it's an event with a purpose. Finishers of the 5K will be eligible for awards across age groups, while Fun Run participants will receive a ribbon, celebrating everyone's achievement in this vibrant community gathering.
