Tilda Cure Is Found 5K, 8K and Kid's Fun Run

Join us for the second annual Tilda Cure Is Found 5K and Kid's Fun Run, a heartwarming event dedicated to raising funds and awareness for cystic fibrosis (CF). This inspiring race honors Tilda Henderson and Nayvie Simmons.

Tilda and Nayvie were diagnosed with CF after birth. They shine a light on the daily challenges faced by the CF community.

Held at Bennie's House in Ranburne, AL, the event features a timed 5K and 8K run for participants of all levels and a cheerful Kid's Fun Run, making it a day for the whole family. Proceeds support vital research and treatments to extend and improve the lives of the 40,000 Americans living with CF.

Come run, walk, or cheer as we work together toward a brighter future—one step closer to a cure!

Hosted at Key Farms, Carrollton, GA

June 20, 2026 | Registration Launches March 15!

In Collaboration With: 3:16 Healthcare

It’s time to trade in the work boots for tennis shoes! Join us at Key Farms for the 3rd Annual Testicle Festival & Farm Run 5K. We’re turning the back pastures into a race track for one of Carroll County's most unique—and important—events of the year.

This isn't just about the miles; it’s about the men in our community. We’ve teamed up with 3:16 Healthcare to provide a space where "checking under the hood" is easy, free, and surrounded by family fun.

The Main Events

The Farm Run 5K: A rugged, scenic cross-country course. Compete for overall and age-group medals!

The Family Fun Run: A shorter, high-energy dash perfect for kids and casual walkers.

The "Health Zone": Take advantage of FREE PSA screenings and Blood Pressure checks provided by 3:16 Healthcare. It’s the most important "pit stop" you’ll make all year.

Festival Fun: Stick around for food trucks, local vendor booths, and inflatables for the kids.

Registration & Pricing

Mark your calendars! Registration officially opens March 15. Save money by signing up early!

Frequently Asked Questions

• What exactly is a "Testicle Festival"?

While the name is lighthearted, our mission is serious! It’s a men’s health awareness event designed to remove the stigma around screenings. We celebrate health, fitness, and proactive care in a fun, farm-style atmosphere.

• How do I sign up for the PSA Screening?

Screenings are provided on-site by 3:16 Healthcare. You can sign up for your free PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) test and blood pressure check during the registration process or at the health tent on the day of the event.

• Is the 5K stroller-friendly?

Since this is a cross-country course through Key Farms, the terrain can be uneven. "All-terrain" or jogging strollers are welcome, but be prepared for a bit of a bumpy ride!

• What do the winners get?

For the 5K, we award medals to the top overall male and female finishers, as well as winners in specific age groups.

• Are there items for purchase?

Yes! We will have a local food truck on-site serving up post-race fuel, and several vendor booths featuring local businesses and crafts.
