This year marks the 14th iteration of the annual New Hope Harvest Classic 5K run/walk. It is also the Road Runner’s Club of America (RRCA) Georgia State Championship 5K race for the third consecutive year.
The race is scheduled for Saturday, November 8th, this year and the course is USATF certified. Participants will have bragging rights that they competed in the State Championship 5K and those who place overall or in their respective age groups will be able to claim the title “State Champion!”
Race Director John Conrad says, “We have one of the best race venues around with lots of door prizes, refreshments, entertainment. The course itself is along a scenic tree-lined route during the peak leaf season and is part of one of the top 50 runs in Atlanta listed in the Atlanta Running Guide. Door prizes include free oil changes, gift cards, gym memberships, and our Grand Prize this year is a one hour flight in a Christen Eagle aerobatic biplane!”
All proceeds are for a very worthy cause because they benefit HeartCry, New Hope’s Orphan Ministry, which serves vulnerable and orphaned children in the community, nation, and around the world.
