Good Neighbor Relay

Good Neighbor Relay

The Good Neighbor Relay is a community endurance event built around teamwork, movement, and giving back. Whether you run every loop, walk every mile, or mix a little of both, this event is designed to bring people together in support of our neighbors in need.

Event Details

Held on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at Pike County Stadium, teams of two will take turns completing a mostly trail-based loop of approximately 3 miles. While one teammate is out on the course, the other rests and recovers at home base before being tagged in for the next loop.

Event Options

• 12 Hour Relay: Starts at 7:00 AM and concludes at 7:00 PM
• 6 Hour Relay: Starts at 9:00 AM and concludes at 3:00 PM
• Checkout: The total amount paid at checkout covers both participants in the event.

Kids' Fun Run

In addition to the relay events, an informal kid fun run will take place at 12:00 PM to encourage families and children to be part of the experience. We are asking for a $10 donation to participate in the fun run.

Beneficiaries

All proceeds will benefit the Pike County Free Lunch Program and Backpack Buddies of Georgia, two organizations working to fight food insecurity in our community. The Pike County Free Lunch Program is currently operating at a $38,000 deficit, making community support more important than ever.

Goal

The goal of the Good Neighbor Relay is simple: promote community involvement, encourage healthy lifestyles, foster teamwork, and support local organizations serving families in need.
