Syfan Supports 5K

Lace up your shoes for the Syfan Supports 5K and Fun Run, a vibrant community event set for Friday, July 17, 2026, in Gainesville, GA. This fourth annual gathering invites runners and walkers of all ages to tackle either the 5K or 1K distance, all while contributing to a worthy cause. Beginning at 6:15 PM EDT for the Fun Run and 6:30 PM EDT for the 5K, the race offers a refreshing evening start, a welcome feature given typical race day conditions in July with highs around 88F and lows around 70F.

The race unfolds along the scenic Midland Greenway in downtown Gainesville, providing a pleasant backdrop for your run or walk. Known for its "fast and flat" road course, the Syfan Supports 5K is an excellent opportunity for personal bests or a comfortable outing with family and friends. This event has a proud history of making a significant local impact, having previously raised substantial funds for organizations like Love Your Story and, this year, benefiting My Sister's Place, a Christ-centered shelter supporting women and children experiencing homelessness.

The Syfan Supports 5K is more than just a race; it's a testament to community spirit and collective giving, consistently bringing together 100-500 participants dedicated to positive change. Join fellow runners and make a difference on the fast and enjoyable Midland Greenway course.
