The Sunrise on the Square Labor Day Road Race is a local favorite and has been held annually in Downtown Newnan on the Saturday before Labor Day for over 40 years.

The race will take place on September 4, 2021, at 8:00 a.m.  Chip timing is able to precisely measure your race results by registering your race chip as you run across timing mats located throughout the race course.  our individual clock starts as soon as you pass over the mats located at the starting line and likewise ends as you cross the mats at the finish line.  Race runners will receive a race t-shirt!   Runners are encouraged to register prior to August 13th, which is the end date for early registration.  (Runners registering after the 13th are not guaranteed a race t-shirt.

runners may pick up their race day packets, in advance, on Thursday and Friday, September 2nd and 3rd at Dragonfly Running Company (in Downtown Newnan) from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m.  Runners may also pick up their race day packets before the event begins on Saturday, September 4th.

The race begins in Downtown Newnan and winds through “The City of Homes,” where runners will catch a glimpse of our beautiful, historic in-town neighborhoods and commercial district.

The race features a 5K USATF certified course (chipped timing), where runners will enjoy the diversity of terrain, including: long flat stretches, downhill, and uphill sections.  The Sunrise on the Square Labor Day Road race welcomes both runners and walkers of all skill levels.
