Run for a Pawpose 5K

The 2026 Boulder Dash 5K Race is a unique race in Forsyth County, Georgia.

The course winds through an active quarry, offering participants views of the working quarry face, ancient rock deposits, and massive equipment used to process, move and manage the rock. Since this is an active quarry, there will be no dogs allowed in the race this year. At the finish line, the Martin Marietta Spring Fling awaits, with Exhibitor/Team Tents and lots of fun for racers and spectators alike.

Sponsor generosity combines with race registration fees to make this event a great fundraiser in the Forsyth community.
