2024 Run for the Son 5K

Our 2024 Run for the Son 5K was tremendous! We are so grateful for those who registered, sponsored, volunteered, lead teams, and anyone else who was involved in making this year’s race a great success. We had a total of 350 people registered for our 5K, virtual 5K, Fun Run, and phantom option. This is our second-highest number of registrations we’ve had for our race. We have YOU to thank for that, registrants! You helped us make this year’s race a great one. THANK YOU!

Our trophies were awarded to Pleasant Grove Baptist Church and Covenant Community Ellijay! Pleasant Grove won our Cup of Legends for the seventh year in a row with 147 people on their team. Great job, Pleasant Grove! Covenant Community Ellijay took home the Cup of Champions for having 23 people participate in one of our races. Congrats, CCE! To all of our other teams that participated in this year’s race, we are so grateful for you! We can’t thank you enough! Y’all are amazing!
