EquiSol Race Series (A Park for All Seasons) - Fall Equinox 5k

Welcome to the new race series in 2026 benefitting the Gwinnett Parks Foundation.

This race is the 3rd of 4 races in the series with one in each quarter falling on or close to the Equinox or Solstice. Each medal will magnetically link together to create a large medal map of Gwinnett County and its parks so do miss out to run all 4 races. (if you do happen to miss one and we have left over medals, we will open up a virtual option for you to run and receive your missing medal to create you full larger medal)

Due to having to order the medals early for all 4 events, the first 200 runners will receive medals on site. If we have additional runners we will order more and have them shipped to you (or you can pick up when ready)

Also you will receive a $20 refund if you refer 5 others.

Performance Race Services and the Gwinnett Park Foundation have teamed up to give you the opportunity to explore 4 of the many parks that Gwinnett has to offer.

The Gwinnett Parks Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization whose mission is to assist the needs, whether volunteer labor, or monetary, of Gwinnett Parks & Recreation. The foundation was organized in 2001 to improve the quality of life for all of its citizens by working in cooperation with Gwinnett County Parks & Recreation, private citizens, businesses, foundations, and the Gwinnett County government.

Everyday in East Africa, women and children walk an average of 5 kilometers to retrieve water for their families that is often unclean and unsafe for human use. Skylar's Run - Clean Water 5K event is focused on bringing awareness that Safe, Clean Water IS a solvable problem. Race headliner, Skylar Gwin, and his father, Paul, will be leading the wheelchair & stroller accessible "Walk & Roll" event as a testimony to the fact that EVERYONE can be part of the clean water solution, no matter their age or abilities.

All funds raised through this event are used to provide sustainable water filters for vulnerable families in Kenya. This designation most often applies to those with limited means who have young children, elderly, physically disabled, or chronically ill family members. These populations are most susceptible to water-born illnesses.
