The countdown is on! Thousands of participants will lace up their bedazzled sneakers, don tutus and tiaras, and celebrate strength, confidence and community as the Divas® Running Series makes its long-awaited return to beautiful Shakerag Knoll (192 McIntosh Trail, Peachtree City) on Saturday, November 7. The half marathon begins at 7 a.m., followed by the 5K at 7:15 a.m. A portion of event proceeds will benefit JCole Advocacy, a nonprofit that supports autism awareness through podcasts, community programs, sensory-friendly events and inclusive activities.

After a six-year hiatus, the iconic woman-owned, women-led event is back with its signature blend of fitness, fun and flair. Participants can choose the 5K or half marathon, beginning and ending at Shakerag Knoll – with routes winding through scenic Peachtree City, Flat Creek Nature Area and Lake Peachtree. Whether running, walking or pushing a child in a stroller, participants from 0-100 years-old are encouraged to take part in this event.

While the Divas® Running Series was designed to celebrate and empower women - friends, family members, and others who support them are also encouraged to participate!

“We’re excited to bring the Divas® Running Series back to Peachtree City for the first time since 2019,” said Danielle Snare, owner of the Divas® Running Series. “This event is about more than running - it’s an opportunity for women of all experience levels to come together, celebrate their accomplishments, enjoy time with friends, and raise awareness for autism.”

Every registered participant receives a commemorative event t-shirt and tutu, while feather boas, tiaras and other fashionable surprises will be available for grabs on the course.
