October is about to get a whole lot tastier in Atlanta, as The Great American Bacon Race 5K Run/Walk makes its debut on Saturday, October 26, 2024, at New Realm Brewing Co. Billed as “America’s Best-Tasting 5K,” this sizzling event combines fitness, bacon, and beer for a one-of-a-kind experience.

What’s Cooking: Participants will tackle a 5K run/walk course that ends with a bacon bonanza. Each finisher, aged 21 and up, is rewarded with a beer from New Realm Brewing Co. – because nothing washes down bacon like a cold brew. “This isn’t just any 5K,” says Garfield Griffiths, president of The Great American Bacon Race. “It’s a bacon lover’s dream! The moment you cross the finish line, a mountain of delicious bacon is waiting for you.”
