About the Easterseals North Georgia's Cupid Shuffle 5K
This Valentine's Day-themed race in Auburn raises money for a local nonprofit that serves children and families facing disabilities and economic hardship across North Georgia. The cause is woven into the event itself, so there is some weight to the morning beyond just the clock. Age group pins go to top finishers across a wide spread of categories, from the youngest runners to senior grand masters.
Post-race awards cover a broad range of age groups, so competitive runners at nearly every stage of life have something to run for. The race also qualifies as an AJC Peachtree Road Race qualifier, which gives it a bit more edge than a typical charity run.
