The race.

The Twelve Days of Christmas (in July) Races series by Clover Glove Race Series consists of 12 races held throughout July 2026 in the Athens, Georgia area, with distances ranging from 1 mile to 8K. Most races are run on your own and require time submission by day's end; four races (1 mile, 4K, 3.22K, and 2K) are virtual, run between July 8–14 with times entered by July 15. A 6K race takes place on July 25 at 7:34 a.m. at Thomas Farm Preserve in Watkinsville, combined with an on-your-own 6K run earlier in the month for an overall 12K time. Entry is $14 per race or $20 for same-day registration; family rates available for four or more family members entering all 12 races. Pre-registered runners completing four or more races receive a special edition T-shirt. Overall awards, by age categories (Master, Grand Master, Senior Grand Master, Youth), go to individuals with the lowest cumulative 12-race time. Races support 4-H.
