A Stroll in the Park - Canton, GA

A Stroll in the Park is an endurance running event on October 3, 2026 at Boling Park in Canton, GA. The event offers timed running over set periods on a measured loop course.

• 12 hour endurance run
• 8 hour endurance run

The course is an approximately one mile crushed gravel loop with a grass shoulder. The surface is described as soft and without rocks or roots; only complete laps count toward final mileage. In wet conditions there may be wet areas to navigate. A chart of exact loop mileage and major distance equivalents will be available at the event.

There will be a single aid station supplying drinks, hot and cold food, cookies, candy, and later pizza, soup, and grilled cheese sandwiches. Some vegetarian options will be offered. Laps will be tracked using RFI technology with manual counting as a backup; progress can be viewed on a computer screen.

Packet pick-up is located at the park near the running path. The park provides toilets near the path, shaded areas, and parking. There are no lights along the path, so participants should plan for their own lighting needs. Registration notes include a deadline to receive a race t-shirt and a registration close date; the event policy states no refunds, transfers, rollovers, or deferments.

Volunteers are requested to assist with set-up, packet pick-up, lap verification, aid station support, and site clean-up. Each 8 hour and 12 hour participant receives an event completion award. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
