Memorial 5K and 1.5 Mile Run/Walk in Villa Rica, GA
This event takes place on May 30, 2026, at The Mill Amphitheater in Villa Rica, Georgia. It is held in memory of a local woman who died after a battle with cervical cancer and aims to raise awareness about prevention and early detection.
The event program includes two timed events:
- 5K Run/Walk
- 1.5 Mile Run/Walk
Organizers state cervical cancer is preventable through regular check-ups, health screenings, and the HPV vaccine. The event’s stated mission is to encourage women to prioritize physical and mental health and to support community well being.
Both courses start and finish at The Mill Amphitheater, 106 Temple Street. The 5K route follows local streets including East Church Street, North Ave, Elm Drive, Anderson Road, Cleghorn Street, Russell Street, and Myrtle Street and uses several turning loops before returning to the amphitheater. The 1.5 mile course is an out-and-back on East Church Street and North Ave to the North Ave and Elm Drive intersection, then returns to the amphitheater.
