Race Info

Welcome!
Join us for the first ever Rowdy RALPH Run! All proceeds for this event will go towards YoungLife in Roswell / ALPHaretta. This promises to be a lot of fun as we run with the community, local high school cross country teams, and everyone else in RALPH! Please show your support and come get Rowdy at the Rowdy RALPH Run!

The Rowdy RALPH is part of the Run & See Georgia Grand Prix Series


Race Schedule:

7:30 am Race Start

Packet Pickup will be at Check-in and is mandatory for the race. You don't want to miss the packet - we have great SWAG; just check out our SPONSORS!

Race Entry Fees:
$25 registration

Since YoungLife is a Section 501 c (3) charitable organization, the entry fee for this event (minus $10 per racer for the race T-shirt) may be tax deductible as a charitable contribution depending on your personal tax situation.

What is the Course Like?
The race takes place in downtown Alpharetta, GA and will begin and end at Wills Park (see map at the bottom of the website). This is a very fast and enjoyable course taking you from the park, past Legion Field, past the old Milton High School and the log cabin, through downtown and back to the park.

Parking:
There is plenty of it at Wills Park - park near the pool or baseball fields

Awards:
We are pleased to offer awards to the top Overall male and female, top Masters male and female and top 3 male and female finishers in these age groups:
10 & under, 11-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80 & over.

Prizes will be presented to the top finishers in each category, provided that there are at least 5 entries in each category. Categories with less than 5 entries may be combined with another category. The Rowdy RALPH Run Committee reserves the right to add/delete categories and awards prior to race day based on participation. The awards ceremony and post race party will take place immediately after the completion of the race.

We'll also have a few door prized from our amazing sponsors!

T-Shirts:
We are ordering QUICK-WICKING TECHNICAL T’s, so send in your entry early to ensure that you receive one of these great shirts. Note, the shirts tend to run a little large, so order a size smaller if you like a more snug fit.

Cancellations and Refunds:
Requests for refunds must be made BEFORE October 1st. To request a refund, please email douglashene@gmail.com There will be a $10 processing fee deducted from the refund. This amount covers the cost of race shirts that will have been ordered. No refunds will be given after October 1st.

Hey man, I wish I could run it! I'll be running all right, like a chicken with my head cut off that morning. Since I'm one of the organizers, I'll be working all morning.

We’re really hoping this turns out to be a great event. We want to raise a lot of money and for it to be a big community event as well. We’d love to have a few hundred this year and just grow it from there! Come join us, you’ll get some great stuff! Bring all the YLNW folks! It’s an easy course.

What’s up with you?
