Duluth Holiday 5K Benefitting Rainbow Village
The event is a 5K (3.1 miles) road/run offering a post-race gathering with red beans and rice, snacks, a DJ, raffle prizes, and age-group awards. It takes place on December 26, 2026, at Shorty Howell Park, 2750 Pleasant Hill Rd, Duluth, GA 30096.
Registration opens on 2026-11-12 and closes on 2026-11-29; the listed registration fee is $30. The organizer notes that participants who register after the initial registration window and up to race day pay $10 less and may not be guaranteed a T-shirt. A long-sleeve T-shirt is guaranteed only for registrants signed up by 4:00 PM on Friday, December 26; shirts will be available while supplies last for later sign-ups. If a registrant does not receive a T-shirt, a $10 refund will be issued. If extra shirts are available on race morning, they can be purchased for $10.
T-shirt and bib pick-up is offered at the pavilion near the start and finish line; the course map indicates the pickup location. The race benefits Rainbow Village, which operates a Duluth campus with 30 apartments available to families for up to two years. In 2024 Rainbow Village served 50 families. The stated fundraising goal is $2,000, which would provide 10 beds for incoming families. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
