Nise's Race in Villa Rica, GA
Nise's Race is a memorial running event organized by the Thompson Foundation on May 29, 2027 at The Mill Amphitheater in Villa Rica, Georgia. Proceeds from the event support women's health and related community resources. The foundation states a vision of encouraging women to prioritize their health and a mission that emphasizes community engagement, physical activity, and positive mental health.
The event includes packet pick-up and same-day registration, pre-race festivities, a 5K run/walk with awards, a 1.5 mile run/walk without awards, and an awards ceremony. The 5K course starts and finishes at The Mill Amphitheater and follows a loop through local streets, with out-and-back segments on Russell and Myrtle cul-de-sacs and streets such as East Church Street, North Ave, Elm Drive, Anderson Road, and Cleghorn Street. The shorter route begins at the same point and turns around near the Elm Drive intersection before returning to the amphitheater.
Sponsorship options are available with tiered plans that include benefits such as logo placement on event materials, vendor booths, and a limited number of race entries. The event materials also present statistics and information on women's health to contextualize the cause supported by race proceeds. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
