About the 2027 Women's 6k Festival
The course runs point to point, finishing near downtown Canton. Shuttles pick up participants from the downtown area and drop them at the start, so there is no backtracking on foot. The route is fast and mostly flat by design, and the race draws an elite women's field alongside an open run for all abilities, with a separate short loop for younger girls after the main event wraps up.
Parking is available around Centennial Plaza, or you can arrange a drop-off at the start. The post-race festival at the finish line includes music, women-owned vendors, and an awards ceremony. If you are bringing a stroller, a drop-off at the start is easier than the shuttle.

The 2027 Women's 6k Festival 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.
