Magnolia Run and Walk for Epilepsy...

• 5K Run:- Run 3.1 Miles
• 1 Mile Run:- Run 1 Mile

The Magnolia Run is EFGA's longest running fundraiser (33 years!) and we need your help to make 2016 our best yet. Last year's Magnolia Run was the most successful in the history of the event, with an astounding 82 teams, over 1600 participants and raising just over $149,000. We cannot express our gratitude enough to the entire epilepsy community! Thank you for the friends and family of loved ones living with epilepsy who continuously support this event!

The Magnolia Run is held on a fairly flat course around Perimeter Mall and the surrounding streets. The course is accommodating to runners and walkers of all ages, speeds and athletic abilities. Dogs and strollers are welcome, but are asked to keep to the right if moving at a slower speed. Please note, the 5k and 1 Mile will begin simultaneously at 8:00AM. When registering for the 2016 Magnolia Run, participants will need to select either 5k or 1mile.
