Event overview
The Circles Douglas County 5K takes place on March 14, 2026 at Clinton Nature Preserve in Villa Rica, GA. This is the event's second annual running. The program includes two distances:
- 5K trail run
- 1 Mile Fun Run
The 5K follows a trail course used for local cross-country events. Runners and walkers are both welcome. Medals will be awarded to the top three finishers in each age group, with age groups in 10-year increments. All finishers receive a race shirt and will be offered snacks and drinks.
Purpose, registration and race features
Proceeds support Circles Douglas County, a program that matches families with mentors and provides training in personal finance, employment, and communication skills. Registration fees vary by date, with early registration at lower prices and higher fees closer to the event. Donation options listed by the organizer include additional contributions during registration, a Phantom Runner option that includes a shirt, direct donations, and sponsorships of $100 or more that include name placement on shirts and higher-tier benefits.
New for this year are improved course markings, course marshals along the route, and an option for participants to select a family friendly song to be added to the finish playlist, though play is not guaranteed. The event is scheduled to run rain or shine except in the case of thunderstorms. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
