Early Packet Pickup - Mandatory

Friday 4/24/2026 - 12:00pm to 6:30pm - Big Peach Running Company Brookhaven - 705 Town Blvd Suite . Q340, Brookhaven, GA 30319

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.

The Brookhaven Bolt 5K presented by Blade Injury Law is a Run/Walk/Stroller push through one of Brookhaven’s amazing neighborhoods, Ashford Park. The 2026 race will take place on Saturday, May 16th. All proceeds from this annual event go to support Ashford Park Elementary School.
