Race Date: Saturday July, 4th @ 9am
Registration is now open for the 2026 Lake Burton Fun Run! We've worked on a few new things for registration this year:
- We upped our cap back to 1500 runners
- After 1500 runners have been registered an automated wait-list will go into play (you'll get an e-mail if you are selected and you'll have 24 hours to accept and register)
- We've opened up a new "I just want a t-shirt" option! While we don't have the design just yet, we can say that the shirt will be light blue with dogs on a pontoon boat decorated for the 4th of July. Courtney West Goodwin will be doing our artwork again this year!
We'll see you at the starting line!
