Hiawassee Half Marathon & 5K

Join us for an unforgettable run in the heart of the North Georgia mountains at the inaugural Hiawassee Half Marathon & 5K! A stone's throw from Atlanta, this event invites you to sprint through the picturesque Hiawassee Town Square and soak in the awe-inspiring views of Lake Chatuge. Perfect for all skill levels, you can expect a flat, quick course that promises both fun and a challenge.

Rise and shine with the Half Marathon at 7:30 am or catch the 5K an hour later. Early birds get a sweet deal with $35 for the 5K and $85 for the Half Marathon, so make sure to lock in your spot before prices jump after January 31, 2026! Remember, every stride you take helps support the Hikeawassee free Appalachian Trail hiker shuttle – this race is all about heart, health, and giving back.
