About the race
Steadman Baptist Church presents the Love in Motion 5K on November 14, 2026, in Tallapoosa, GA. The event uses the church parking lot for both start and finish and offers two distances:
- 5K (3.1 miles)
- 1 Mile
The 5K course rolls through small hills with about 148 feet total elevation, passes the Taylor Christmas Tree Farm and nearby pastures, and provides views of animals at Backwoods Steakhouse. Aid stations are located at the parking lot and a middle intersection so participants can access water at roughly 0.5, 1.5, and 2.5 miles. There will be at least two water stations, a designated first aid team with an emergency plan, and volunteers at key intersections for course monitoring.
Timing for the race is electronic and will be handled by Wire2WireRunning using MyLaps equipment. Everyone who completes the 5K receives a finisher medal; age group awards and overall awards are also planned. The 1 Mile finishes include finisher medals for all participants and a separate two-loop fun run around the parking lot for children. Church staff volunteers will supervise children on the playground if a child registration form is provided.
Proceeds from the event will support Live 2540’s November Match to assist children of Liberia and staff at Jesus Loves Me Children’s Center. Registration is available online and in person with early registration and regular race day fees. The event is rain or shine. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
