About the Moove & Groove 5k

The course is a straightforward out-and-back, so you retrace your steps on the same road you ran out on. The terrain is simple and readable, with no surprises in the route. Music is part of the morning, and the crowd skews family, with strollers in the mix alongside runners of all speeds.

Packet pickup runs on the two evenings before race day, first at a local running store in Flowery Branch, then at a Chick-fil-A patio nearby. If you skip both, bibs are also available at the start on race morning. Once you have your bib in hand, no check-in is needed at the venue.

Common Questions About the Moove & Groove 5k

Will I finish last at the Moove & Groove 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 36:04, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:21:56, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Moove & Groove 5k a good first 5K?

A field of 532 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Moove & Groove 5k?

The 5K winner ran 18:47 while the median finisher took 36:04. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
