Event overview
The NSBC Spring Into Service 5K is a community run in Griffin, GA on April 18, 2026. The event includes an in-person 5K and a Virtual / Ghost Runner option. Registration fee is $30 for both options. Proceeds above race expenses will support the Boxes of Hope Ministry, which plans to distribute 250 food boxes locally and has a fundraising goal of $20,000 (about $80 per box). T-shirt requests are guaranteed only for registrations completed by April 1, 2026.
Race details
The in-person course is a 5 km (3.1 miles) open road route starting from the Old E. Taylor school parking lot at 310 E. Poplar Street, across from Griffin Stadium. The race will not be chip timed; a horn start will be used and a timing crew will record finisher times. There will be one water station about halfway through the course. Course support will include volunteers and local police. All registrants receive a race T-shirt, bib, and a post-race hot breakfast provided by New Salem Baptist Church. Age-group medals will be awarded for multiple categories, including overall and masters, and standard age brackets from 9 and under to 80+. Walkers, runners, and strollers are welcome; minors running on their own must register and be accompanied by an adult. Pets are not allowed. Virtual participants may submit results by email to be included in the final results in a separate category. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
