Clayton's Hardest & Funnest 5k
Clayton's Hardest & Funnest 5k is a community running event in Clayton, Georgia, that benefits Place of Hope North Georgia. The event uses a looped course on the green space behind the City of Clayton Town Hall and includes a festival area at Rabun County Pavilions. Parking is available in both city and county lots.
The main 5k is structured as four 0.75 mile laps. Each lap ends with a 100 foot lane challenge that requires an exercise component in a set order: lunges, bear crawl, burpee broad jump, and a sprint. The 5k may be completed by an individual or as a relay team of up to four people; relay teams are asked to run in an alternate order based on team size.
