The Marietta Police Athletic League (PAL) cordially invites you to participate as a Runner or Sponsor (or both) in the tenth annual Marietta Shamrock Shuffle 5K. This event will raise money to support Marietta PAL’s Youth Sports, Recreation and Education Programs, which serve school-aged area youth, many of whom could not otherwise afford to participate in such programs. The event will be held on Saturday, March 21, 2026, live and in person on The Square in Marietta, GA. The event will include prizes for St. Patrick’s Day themed costume contests for the most convincing leprechaun and top qualifier awards.

*Again this year, the Marietta Shamrock Shuffle is pleased to announce the 2nd Mile of the race will be designated the “Memorial Mile of Celebration!” This will consist of registering “In Memory Of” teams to run in honor of those we’ve loved and lost. Then during the race, from Mile Marker 1 to Mile Marker 2, everyone will be encouraged to celebrate the lives of their loved ones with cheers, chants, and salutes in motion!

To join in the “Memorial Mile of Celebration” and launch your “In Memory of” Team:
1. When registering, simply create your “In Memory of” Team!
2. Then share the link to encourage family and friends to join your team, dress up and coordinate for the Memorial Mile of Celebration. Be sure to share your “team name” for easy registration.
“In Memory of” teams who register 25 or more members by February 14th will have your loved one’s name added to the Shamrock Shuffle souvenir race shirt and receive special memorial wristbands!

Join us for our 1st annual Legacy 5K in honor of the late Pastor Frederick T. Anderson. Pastor Anderson is the founding pastor of Covenant Christian Ministries and a leader in Marietta for over 30 years. He and his wife ran a private school, Covenant Christian Ministries Academy, in Marietta for 25 years, which matriculated numerous students who were not only native to Georgia but came from various parts of the world.

Since 2016 the church has been meeting at various locations Cobb Galleria, McEachern Auditorium, The Mansour Center, but we settled at Smitha Middle School in 2019. It was Pastor Anderson's goal to build a permanent home for Covenant Christian Ministries, and all proceeds from the 5K will go toward making that vision a reality. The 5K course is a look back at our church history and the various places we called home in Marietta.

Pastor Anderson transitioned to his heavenly home on January 19, 2025. This race honors Pastor Frederick T. Anderson and celebrates the church that he founded. Join his family, friends, and church family as we keep his memory alive and continue the legacy that he started.
