Athens, TX
Entry is $25 now and rises to $35 after Oct 10, 2026, so registering before then saves $10.
The race starts outside the Cain Center YMCA and offers a timed course alongside a shorter family-friendly option. Athens is a small town, so the field tends to be people who know each other, and the Chamber of Commerce presence gives the morning a civic rather than purely athletic feel. Both distances finish at the same spot.
