About the Heroes for Hope 5K Run/Walk
The course runs along the Augusta Canal, starting at the Mill Village Trailhead. The surroundings are scenic and mostly flat, with the canal path providing a natural setting away from heavy traffic. A costume element runs through the whole event, so expect to share the route with runners in capes and masks alongside those there purely to race.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at Fleet Feet Augusta, with a race-morning option available at the trailhead for those who cannot make it out the day before. There is a kids' fun run alongside the main race, and a costume contest for children, adults, and pets makes the post-race area worth sticking around for.
