On April 4, 2026, the Second Chance 5K Mission Run takes place in Cartersville, Virginia at 25 High Street, starting at 7:45 AM. Despite the race name, the event features a 1-mile distance rather than a full 5K. Entry fees range from $10 to $25, making it an accessible option for runners of all levels. The early morning start time works well for athletes who prefer to finish before the day heats up or who have other commitments. This short-distance format suits runners training for longer events, those returning to running, or anyone looking for a quick, local race experience.

From the Race Organizer
We are excited to be back for our 12th race! Our 5K runs are mission and family focused. We can't wait to see familiar faces, along with many new faces on April 4, 2026. We are back with the start line in the Village of Cartersville. Proceeds from this year's race will benefit missions of Cartersville Baptist Church--our youth group and missionaries. This year not only will we have our traditional 5K race through our beautiful quaint village of Cartersville, but we will feature a kids fun run!! The Kids Run is for 10 years old and younger. Participants in this age group can register to do both the kids mile run and 5K, but must register for both to place in either race.
