The 8th Annual Ella's 5k and Fun Run will again take place at the beautiful Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center. We encourage everyone to bring their dogs for this fun mixed road and trail course. After the run/walk be sure to stick around for the festival featuring vendors, music, food, kid’s activities and much more! Sign up now for this wonderful event.
This is the best value in Atlanta area racing in our "unbaised" opinion! Hot food from Carrabba's Italian Grill and cold beer in our beer garden to watch everyone finish. Plus an awesome goody bag, race awards and raffle prizes for all participants to win.
All competitors that register early will receive the 8th Annual Ella’s Run t-shirt (late registration and "day of" only while supplies last) There will be prizes awarded to the top finishers for both men and women in various age groups.

Fundraising
Right To Hike, Inc. is dedicated to celebrating the life of our friend, Meredith Hope Emerson through raising funds and awareness for causes close to Meredith's heart. We hope to honor her memory by sharing her courage, love of the outdoors and belief that all people have the right to live without fear.
Our online goal is matched for the purchase for one (1) emergency phone that will be presented to a local municipality at the event on October 18th. Your contribution helps our goal but most importantly it potentially helps a stranded person in need of assistance.
Anyone who raises $100 or more will receive a Right to Hike hoodie!
