Run for Rangers

Run For Rangers is a multi-event running race held in Dahlonega, Georgia, over Veterans Day weekend. The event features a 5K, 10K, and a challenging half marathon known as the Mountain Marathon, which takes runners along forestry roads used by US Rangers for training near the Appalachian Trail. Participants can also opt for the Ranger Challenge, combining either the 5K or 10K with the half marathon for an added test of endurance.

The races start at Hancock Park and Camp Merrill, with awards given across various age and gender categories. The event includes festive activities such as a Veterans Day parade, music festival, and food and beverage options, creating a vibrant and supportive atmosphere.
