Bowdon Founders Day 5K
The 45th Annual Bowdon Founders Day Run takes place on August 1, 2026, in Bowdon, Georgia, centered on historic Main Street and the municipal downtown area near 205 East College Street. The event includes a certified 5K course and an additional registration option for those who wish to receive a race shirt without running.
Registration details note a pre-registration fee of $30 through July 15 and a fee of $35 after that date. The event specifies a guaranteed race shirt cutoff of July 15. Pre-registered participants may pick up race packets on the day before the event at God’s Gym, 139 City Hall Ave., Suite A, Bowdon. Same-day registration and the awards ceremony are held behind the Bowdon Municipal Building at 182 Grammar School Rd.
Chip timing is used and results are posted live on race day. Awards are presented for overall male and female, for master and grand master categories, and for the top three finishers in age groups spanning 10 and under through 75 and over. Race instructions require each participant to wear their assigned number on the front of their shirt.
The event is presented by Bowdon Main Street and is scheduled to coincide with Founders Day activities, including a parade and downtown vendors. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
