Welcome to Seussville!

Seussville is coming to Etowah River Park, and a few familiar characters may be making mischief along the way!

Be on the lookout for the Cat in the Hat and friends roaming around, greeting participants and posing for pictures. We’ll also have free event photography to capture the smiles, costumes, memories—and probably a little race-day sweat too!

Dress to Impress—Seuss Style!

Come dressed as your favorite Dr. Seuss character for a chance to win a special prize! Costumes are encouraged but never required.

A Special Moment for Bree

Before the race begins, we’ll gather for a special memorial presentation honoring Bree and the incredible impact she continues to have on so many lives. This is the heart of our morning—a time to remember her kindness, celebrate her life and recognize how her decision to become an organ donor gave others the gift of more tomorrows.

The 5K will begin immediately following the presentation, so please arrive early to ensure you do not miss this meaningful part of the event.
