Plains Road Race

Plains Road Race is a USATF-certified 5K race (with an accompanying Fun Run) held in Plains, Georgia, the hometown of Jimmy Carter. The event runs in tandem with the Plains Peanut Festival, fostering a festive, community atmosphere. The course starts in downtown Plains, travels along a hardtop country road, and returns to Plains, featuring almost level terrain with little elevation change.

This setup provides a solid opportunity for a personal record in a welcoming small-town setting. The race highlights local culture and the peanut festival, making it a distinctive Georgia road race experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
