Course
Our new nostalgic loop course in Downtown Historic Buford, GA will run through the city’s eclectic dining and shopping district, past the famed Bona Allen Mansion and ending at the Tannery Rows arts center. Race headquarters (parking, start/finish and post-race Expo) will be located at 554 W. Main Street, Buford, GA 30518.

The 2007 ADventure Advertising Run for the River 5K will feature a USA Track & Field-certified course (course # GA07017WC) and state-of-the-art AMB chip-timing system, providing runners with fast, accurate results. You’ll love this system; it’s been used at past Tour De Georgia bike races and 2007 Lance Armstrong Foundation LIVESTRONG running event series. Note: Runners who do not return chips at the conclusion of the race will be charged $30.

Many participants from past Run for the River 5Ks have asked for t-shirts as race premiums and we’ve listened. This year’s run will feature a Brooks Podium short sleeve, performance shirt for all registrants, a $24 retail value made possible by our good friends at Fleet Feet Sports’ John’s Creek and Lawrenceville stores.

Plus, be sure to stay after the run and enjoy our exciting post-race Expo, complete with music, great food and drinks, outstanding race awards (custom shoe/gear bags) and other surprises. If you’ve never participated in a Run for the River 5K, ask a friend who has. They’ll confirm that this event offers Atlanta’s best runner perks, hands down!
