About the GO GRAY FOR A CURE 5K

The race takes place at Cauley Creek Park, a setting that gives the course a park feel underfoot. The event is chip timed and serves as an official qualifying race for the Peachtree Road Race, so it draws runners who are chasing a real benchmark. Strollers, wheelchairs, and dogs are welcome at the back of the start, and the course is USATF certified.

Packet pickup runs the evening before at Big Peach Running in Suwanee, with race-morning pickup available at the park's staging area. After the race, there is a remembrance ceremony and a survivor walk at the main stage, followed by an awards ceremony covering overall, masters, and age group categories.

Common Questions About the GO GRAY FOR A CURE 5K

Will I finish last at the GO GRAY FOR A CURE 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 42:21, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:07:56, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the GO GRAY FOR A CURE 5K a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (68 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the GO GRAY FOR A CURE 5K?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 20:10 while the median finisher took 42:21. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
