Lost Gold 5k and Fun Run
The Lost Gold 5k and Fun Run is an athletic event held in Washington, Georgia. The race takes place on Saturday, April 25, 2026, with activities centered around the historic Washington Town Square. The event serves as a fundraiser for the Friends of the Square, an organization that provides community-centered arts and entertainment activities to promote civic engagement and pride in the local area.
Participants can choose between two main distances:
- 5k (timed)
- Fun Run
The 5k course is professionally timed by Run the Tangents Timing. The start and finish area is located at 23 East Court Street, directly in front of the Courthouse. Participants have the option to register with or without a commemorative T-shirt, and different pricing tiers are applied based on the registration date.
The event schedule includes packet and T-shirt pickup on the Friday before the race at the Washington-Wilkes Tourist Information Center. On race day, an awards presentation follows the completion of the runs. Awards are presented to the first place male and female finishers in the overall category and across several age groups, ranging from 14 and under to 70 and older. The day concludes with a post-race tailgate on the Square, where attendees may bring their own picnics or purchase items from local food vendors.
