Independence Day Festival

The Independence Day Festival in St. Marys, Georgia, is an annual event featuring a 5K run, 10K run, and a Youth 1 Mile Fun Run. Scheduled for July 4, 2025, the festival marks its 55th year and supports local causes including Kiwanis Programs and the Camden Community Family Center, which aids children in foster care and families facing domestic challenges.

The 10K course is a modified two-lap version of the 5K route due to construction. Runners start and finish at 106 Conyers St. E, with professional chip timing provided.

Awards are given for overall winners and various age groups, promoting a family-friendly and charitable atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
