Raise your glass—and your heart rate! The Miles for Mimosas 5K is the perfect blend of fitness, fun, and a little post-race fizz. Runners and walkers will enjoy a refreshing course designed for all experience levels, whether you’re chasing a personal best or simply soaking in the atmosphere.

We will be racing on the Green Way in Sugar Hill, GA.

Every athlete will be treated to a race-themed shirt, a sparkling finisher medal, and a complimentary mimosa (juice for those under 21) to toast your accomplishment at the finish line. In addition, we’ll be recognizing excellence across the field with awards for the Top Three Male and Female Overall finishers, as well as Master, Grand Master, and Senior Master Overalls. Also, the top three athletes in each of the traditional five-year age groups will take home awards

Join us for a run that tastes as good as it feels! Cheers to the Miles for Mimosas 5K!

EquiSol Race Series (A Park for All Seasons) - Summer Solstice 5k

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

This race is the 2nd 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.
