About the Run for Angels
The course is a certified road route through historic downtown Newnan, starting and finishing on Salbide Ave beside a church parish hall. The streets have some history to them, and the race benefits a local foster shelter for teenage girls, so the cause runs close to the people out there running it.
Packet pickup runs the afternoon and evening before the race at the same parish hall where the race starts. Race-morning pickup opens early. The start area features a short fun run, a warm-up, and brief remarks from the shelter before the main race goes off.

The Run for Angels has been held every year since at least 2026. 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 25, 2026.
