2026 Woodstock Freedom Run

At Limitless, we believe every individual deserves independence and inclusion in a safe and loving environment. The day program gives special needs adults the ability to be independent and grow as an individual through community support and activities.

The upcoming event is all about supporting adults with disabilities in their quest to live limitless lives within their community. Your generous contributions will directly benefit Limitless clients, enabling their active participation in community activities, enhancing our day programs, and providing life skills training. With your support, we can offer a diverse range of enriching experiences that foster independence and well-being. By being a part of this event, you're making a significant difference in the lives of those we serve, helping us create a more inclusive and limitless community for all. Thank you for your invaluable support.

The Global Nerve Foundation (GNF) is a charitable, nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of millions of people worldwide affected by peripheral nerve problems.

To celebrate our fourth anniversary on September 13, 2026, we’re hosting our first-ever virtual 5K and 10K—and you can participate from anywhere in the world. This event has two goals:

1. Raise global awareness of peripheral nerve problems, and

2. Support GNF’s mission through optional fundraising (participation is free).

Participants who choose to fundraise will be eligible to receive free race swag and GNF goodies as a thank-you for their support.

Run or walk on your own route, at your own pace, wherever you are. Participants can submit their results during the first two weeks of September.

We hope you’ll join us to raise awareness of peripheral nerve problems and help advance the work of the Global Nerve Foundation. Learn more about the Global Nerve Foundation at https://globalnervefoundation.org/run-for-nerve/

Cherokee Recreation and Parks will host the 3rd Annual Live Like Laken 5K Run/Walk on October 24, 2026, at Hobgood Park in Woodstock, GA. The purpose of this 5K is to raise money for The Laken Hope Foundation, Inc., which supports existing organizations that promote safety awareness for women, aid, and tuition assistance for nursing students and children’s healthcare. These were all causes that Laken felt strongly about, and she held near and dear to her heart. Additional information regarding the specific foundations supported and money raised can be found at https://lakenhopefoundation.com/

Laken Riley was a student at Augusta University after attending UGA, where she was studying to become a nurse. Laken’s untimely death was avoidable and tragic. Our ultimate goal is to promote safety awareness and prepare women if they are ever in danger. We will be handing out safety products and providing information centered around programs that champion safety awareness. Thank you, everyone, for your continued love and support. Together we can all Keep Hope Alive!

The Live Like Laken 5K is a certified race for The Northside Hospital Peachtree Road Race.

Dogs are welcome as long as they are on a leash.

Two weeks before Thanksgiving in 2011, we decided that we wanted to give back to all the participants who came out to race with us over the course of the year. Thanksgiving morning seemed to be the perfect time, and giving them a FREE race would be the perfect way to say thanks. We're continuing that tradition...If you've crossed under our finish line in any race from Dec. 1, 2025 - Nov. 14, 2026, you've earned yourself a FREE 5K spot in ONE of the in-person Turkey Trot races. (Please note the dates. Running one of our Turkey Trots last year does NOT qualify for a free entry.)

BACK AGAIN THIS YEAR...THE Early Bird Race. Everything will be the same as Thanksgiving Day, but we're letting you race on Saturday November 21st in Marietta/Kennesaw, if you want to.

THAT'S THIS RACE YOU ARE ABOUT TO REGISTER FOR!
