Only Fools Run
The Only Fools Run is an established road running event held in Greensboro, North Carolina, hosted by The Social on Garden. The 2026 edition introduces a new course through the city streets, featuring smooth pavement and clear signage. This April Fools-themed event is designed for various experience levels and emphasizes a festive atmosphere with community spirit.
The event offers several race distances to choose from:
- Half Marathon (13.1 miles)
- 10K (6.2 miles)
- 5K (3.1 miles)
Participants have multiple registration options, including standard entries that include a custom race shirt and a finisher medal. For those who prefer a basic race experience without the shirt or medal, economy packages are available. The event also accommodates chariot runners and riders, specifically for agape athletes.
The course is supported by well-stocked aid stations providing hydration and nutrition. Runners in the standard divisions are eligible for age group awards and prizes for top finishers. For those unable to attend in person, virtual options are available for all three distances. These allow participants to complete their chosen distance on their own time and collect their race packet, including the medal and shirt, after providing confirmation of their run.
