About the Run For The Cookies 5K
The course runs through the Chattahoochee Nature Center, so expect natural surroundings rather than city pavement. Results from the in-person race qualify for a major local road race, which draws some runners who are specifically chasing that. Others are there for the cookie theme, and the post-race area, called the Cookie Village, has vendors, games, and refreshments.
Packet pickup is available before race day, and early pickup is strongly encouraged to avoid lines at check-in. Race-morning pickup is available if needed, but the organizers are clear that arriving early helps.

Finish-Time Stats
Going by the 2025 results, this is a decent-sized field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Run For The Cookies 5K has been held every year since at least 2023. 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 Jul 27, 2026.
