  Loop The Hooch 50K/25K

  Team Relay and Solo Race

  UPDATES FOR 2026

  Cash prizes for course records! - $500 to each solo runner or team that beats the current course record for the 50K Solo or Relay!

  Details

  Loop The Hooch is a 50k, 25k, and Team Relay running race at Chattahoochee Pointe Park in Suwanee, GA. The trail features a winding 5 kilometer gravel/dirt surface loop along the Chattahoochee River. This is a fast and flat course, making the race great for PR’s and first timers alike.

  One of the fastest 50K races in Georgia! Current course record is 3:29:03.

  You may join as a solo participant in the 50k or 25K, or grab some friends and run as a team! Teams of up to 5 runners will compete against other relay teams for the fastest 50k finish.

  The Solo 50K is the RRCA Georgia State Championship Race for 2026.

  Relay Info

  You may choose "Female" for all female teams, or "OPEN" for any other team format that's not all female.

  *Open division includes mixed gender and all male teams.

  Your team will collectively run 50k (ten loops), however you wish to divide it up. Some teams would have each member run 10k (two loops) before switching off, others would have each member run 5k (one loop) then switch. The latter is typically faster overall. Every team member will have a bib with a timing chip, there is nothing you need to hand off. There will be a relay “transition zone” identified on the course map where the the next runner will meet the previous runner completing their loop, you will both pass the start/finish line together, one runner will continue and the other will stop.

  Teams are allowed to setup a crew tent if desired. Please be mindful of your footprint so that there is space for everyone. No personal items or setups should be closer than 10ft from the course.

  *For 2026, all teams are allowed 2 vehicles max in order to allow parking space for all participants at the park. This includes crew and spectators. Contact us if you have questions regarding this policy.

  Aid Station

  Summit will provide a fully stocked aid-station along with water and electrolyte mix. You will pass the aid station every loop, just before the start/finish line.

  *All Summit events are CUP-LESS. Please bring a bottle or re-usable cup for water/hydration.

  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/

  This is the EARLY BIRD Turkey Trot...Saturday 11/21/2026 in Kennesaw.

  We are excited to bring back our Turkey Trot events for 2026!~ Guidelines will be the same as prior, please note the specific dates in order to qualify for a complimentary race entry!

  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!
