Welcome to our Run for the Son 5K website! This year will be our 17th annual race. Our Run for the Son 5K is our second largest fundraiser. The funds raised from registration fees all the way to the sponsorships go towards sharing the Gospel with Gilmer’s 6th through 12th-grade students. What could be better than getting an awesome race day shirt, spending the morning fellowshipping with fellow supporters, and supporting the ministry of the CLC? We had a wonderful race last year with a record-breaking 417 people registered! We can’t wait to see how God uses YOU, our supporters, to make this year’s race great!

This year’s race will be held on May 6th, 2023 at the Gilmer County Scout Hut (75 McCutchen St, Ellijay, GA 30540). Packet pick-up and registration begin at 7AM. Our Fun Run and 5K will begin at 8:15AM. Our Tot Trot will follow weather permitting. To get involved you can register, sponsor, or lead a team! To learn more, click on the corresponding image below. We can’t wait to see you at the starting line!
