New in 2026 | Mascot Mini Mile
The Mascot Mini-Mile is coming to the Perry Kiwanis Club Georgia National Fair 5K on Saturday, October 10th and trust us, “mile” is a very generous term - we're talking less than 300 feet from start to finish!
This is a quick, friendly shuffle from one intersection to the next right before the 5K runners take off. There’s no serious competition and no pressure, just mascots showing their community spirit, posing for photos, representing their organizations and putting smiles on faces!
- Participation: FREE for mascots to participate
- Community Exposure: Great community and brand exposure
- Photo Opportunities: Plenty of fun photo opportunities
- Friendly Event: Short, sweet and suitable for every mascot’s stride
