Loop The Hooch 50K/25K

Team Relay and Solo Race

UPDATES FOR 2026

Cash prizes for course records! - $500 to each solo runner or team that beats the current course record for the 50K Solo or Relay!

Details

Loop The Hooch is a 50k, 25k, and Team Relay running race at Chattahoochee Pointe Park in Suwanee, GA. The trail features a winding 5 kilometer gravel/dirt surface loop along the Chattahoochee River. This is a fast and flat course, making the race great for PR’s and first timers alike.

One of the fastest 50K races in Georgia! Current course record is 3:29:03.

You may join as a solo participant in the 50k or 25K, or grab some friends and run as a team! Teams of up to 5 runners will compete against other relay teams for the fastest 50k finish.

The Solo 50K is the RRCA Georgia State Championship Race for 2026.

Relay Info

You may choose "Female" for all female teams, or "OPEN" for any other team format that's not all female.

*Open division includes mixed gender and all male teams.

Your team will collectively run 50k (ten loops), however you wish to divide it up. Some teams would have each member run 10k (two loops) before switching off, others would have each member run 5k (one loop) then switch. The latter is typically faster overall. Every team member will have a bib with a timing chip, there is nothing you need to hand off. There will be a relay “transition zone” identified on the course map where the the next runner will meet the previous runner completing their loop, you will both pass the start/finish line together, one runner will continue and the other will stop.

Teams are allowed to setup a crew tent if desired. Please be mindful of your footprint so that there is space for everyone. No personal items or setups should be closer than 10ft from the course.

*For 2026, all teams are allowed 2 vehicles max in order to allow parking space for all participants at the park. This includes crew and spectators. Contact us if you have questions regarding this policy.

Aid Station

Summit will provide a fully stocked aid-station along with water and electrolyte mix. You will pass the aid station every loop, just before the start/finish line.

*All Summit events are CUP-LESS. Please bring a bottle or re-usable cup for water/hydration.

Due to the size of the race and the Festival that will be going on simultaneously we are requesting runners to pick up packets ( race number - shirt - special gift) at our convenient packet pick up location on the 24th. Runners can pick up multiple packets for friends and family. The size of the race and items to be given with a festival going on at the same time will make a race day packet pick up very difficult for our volunteers and runners so we are making a mandatory early pick up so that race day will go smoothly for all. We do understand some will not be able to make this and we ask that you reach out to us. We will approve race day pick up on a case by case basis. Thank you for your understanding

Registration is tiered the earlier you sign up the less expensive it will be ! Sign up early as this RACE WILL SELL OUT FAST - Race is capped at 500 runners and will sell out quickly

CELEBRATING 32 YEARS OF LAUREN'S RUN & PICNIC

For the last 31 years, hundreds of families have gathered to walk and run in support of CURE Childhood Cancer, raising more than $6.2 million for lifesaving pediatric cancer research. Lauren’s Run & Picnic, presented by AutoNation, truly brings the community together, with families, schools, and companies forming race teams to support our fight.

After the race, participants, as well as families diagnosed with childhood cancer, join together for the CURE Annual Picnic. The CURE Picnic is a day unlike any other! Dozens of games, prizes, elaborate face painting, enormous inflatables, music and dancing, arts and crafts, a full lunch, and so much more. The CURE Picnic is a reunion for our families and a day of fun for all.
