About the Labor Day 5K/10K/15K
The race starts and finishes in a movie theater parking lot in Kennesaw, with out-and-back routes spreading out from there in different lengths. The terrain is flat and moves quickly underfoot. The event is built around honoring first responders, and the field tends to reflect that, with firefighters, paramedics, and law enforcement running alongside the general public.
Packet pickup happens race morning, opening well before the start, so there is no need to make a separate trip the day before. Water is available at self-serve stations along the course, spaced out enough that runners who want to go fast may prefer to carry their own.

Labor Day 5K/10K/15K 2026 Results
Going by the 2026 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Labor Day 5K/10K/15K has been held every year since at least 2018. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 24, 2026.
