About this race
Get ready to chase the sunshine—even if it refuses to show up!
The Surf & Sun 5K splashes into North Georgia at West Bank Park in Cumming at the beginning of February, bringing beach-day vibes to a decidedly not beach-day forecast. While the temperatures may be brisk, the scenery more than makes up for it. This beautiful course offers an incredible 360-degree view of the Lake Lanier, giving runners a stunning backdrop of sparkling water and winter skies the entire way.
Every participant will earn a custom finisher medal, a bright reminder that you braved the chill and conquered the course. We’ll also be presenting awards in all the usual 5-year age groups, celebrating fast finishes across every division.
Bundle up, bring your best sunny attitude, and join us as we surf the winter waves at the Surf & Sun 5K!
