Savannah River Brewing Co. Sunday Morning Run Club

Savannah River Brewing Co. hosts a weekly Sunday Morning Run Club every Sunday at 10:30 AM in downtown Augusta. The format includes a roughly three-mile run followed by a free beer. This recurring meetup provides a consistent option for local participants seeking a short group run and social gathering.

12th Annual Augusta HBCU 5K Run/Walk and Health Fair

The 12th Annual Augusta HBCU 5K Run/Walk and Health Fair is scheduled for Saturday, September 19, 2026, at 8:00 AM in North Augusta. The event combines a timed run or walk with a health fair component, drawing community interest each year.

Augusta Half Marathon/10K/5K Registration

Registration remains open for the Augusta Half Marathon/10K/5K scheduled for February 27, 2027. Runners can sign up now for the multi-distance event that returns to the local calendar the following year.

These programs and events form the current backbone of organized running in Augusta. Participants can visit the Fleet Feet Augusta site or related calendars for details on joining training groups. The Sunday run club operates without advance sign-up requirements in most cases. For the September 5K and the 2027 half marathon, early registration helps secure spots as dates approach.
