Princess Fun Run/5K

The 18th Annual Barnes Drug Store 5K Fun Run & Splash Dash will take place on July 18, 2026 at 200 South Patterson St. Valdosta, GA 31601.

All proceeds and donations will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $100,000, and all funds raised and matched will benefit Sandy's House, a local organization that holds a 12 month residential faith based program. They are located in Valdosta, Georgia, and the program is set up for women ages 18 and older who are suffering from addiction. They opened their doors on March 21, 2022 and have served women broken from alcohol and drug addiction by providing housing, education, and spiritual training to enable women to rediscover who they are in Christ.

Since 2009, Barnes Drug Store has raised and donated over $1 Million for our community through our annual 5k event. Thanks to the support of our community partners, we raised over $600,000 in 2025 for Evans Memorial Camp.

Every year, this event and donations are made possible by the incredible companies, organizations, and individuals in our community who provide valuable support to our mission. We hope you will join us in our efforts to raise and donate $100,000.00 for Sandy's House in 2026.

Register for $30 before June 30th to get a t-shirt. All registrations after June 30th (including day of registrations) will not include a t-shirt.
