Spring Hill Sun Run

Lace up for an exhilarating evening at the Spring Hill Sun Run, set to take place on Friday, March 6, 2026, in Fayetteville, Georgia. This vibrant community event, hosted at Spring Hill Elementary School, offers participants a choice between a thrilling new 5K race course and a spirited 1-mile fun run, making it perfect for runners of all ages and abilities. Typical race day conditions in early March bring comfortable highs around 63°F and lows near 40°F, with only an 18% chance of precipitation, promising ideal running weather.

The Spring Hill Sun Run is renowned for its lively, family-friendly atmosphere. Runners can anticipate an unforgettable experience complete with food trucks, a dynamic DJ, and numerous opportunities to win exciting prizes and raffle drawings. While the 2026 event features a brand-new 5K course, earlier iterations of this race have been known as "the toughest 5K in Fayette County," suggesting a course that may offer varied terrain to challenge participants. The evening start times—with the 1-mile fun run kicking off at 5:00 PM and the 5K race at 5:30 PM—provide a unique opportunity to run as the sun begins to set.

Beyond the race itself, the Spring Hill Sun Run is a celebration of community spirit, brought to life by Spring Hill Elementary and the Peachtree City Rotary Club, with tremendous support from local staff, students, families, and dedicated volunteers. All registered participants receive a T-shirt and a swag bag, with awards recognizing top finishers in each age group. The festive post-race atmosphere, featuring awards announcements and door prizes from 6:00 to 7:00 PM, ensures a memorable experience for everyone involved.
