Mighty Hero Homes 5K and Fun Run
The Mighty Hero Homes 5K and Fun Run is a community fundraising event in McDonough, Georgia on November 7, 2026. The event raises funds for Mighty Hero Homes, an organization focused on eliminating veteran homelessness. All proceeds from the event go directly to the organization.
The race takes place through the Lake Dow and Lake Dow Estates communities in Henry County and is listed as a USATF course certified route (GA25063WC). The event also serves as a Peachtree Road Race qualifier. Organizers note that the event promotes health in the community and that this is the second annual running of the event.
Races include a traditional 5K run/walk, a 50 meter fun run for children ages six and under, and a virtual 5K option. The 5K has an entry fee of $45, the virtual 5K has a $45 fee, and the fun run for young children is free. The event is dog and stroller friendly and will use separate wave groups for those participants. Children under 18 must have adult consent to participate.
Each race will be dedicated to a veteran, and organizers accept veteran nominations for the 2026 event. Awards are planned for overall male and female finishers, the top three in each age group, and an award for the most decorated patriotic stroller.
