Event Information

The Yankee Doodle Dash takes place on July 4, 2026, in Augusta, Georgia. It is a chip-timed running event with two race distances: a 5K and a 10K. The start location is the Mill Village Trailhead at 109 Eve Street. The course is described as an out-and-back path that follows the Savannah River. It is noted as being mostly flat and suitable for walking or running.

Logistics

Packet pickup is scheduled for the day before the race, July 3, 2026, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Fleet Feet Augusta on Fury's Ferry Road. Registration will be available online through race day, with online registration potentially closing at 6:55 a.m. on the day of the event. There will be no morning packet pickup or on-site registration. Water will be available on the course at each turnaround point.

Awards and Other Details

Awards are based on gun times and are given for overall finishers and across multiple age categories. Finisher medals will be produced, but a note states that only 250 medals will be ordered on June 1, 2026; registrations after that point do not guarantee a medal. The event location is described as dog, stroller, and family-friendly. The organizer notes a school supply donation drive, where participants can bring supplies in exchange for a raffle ticket.
