About the Event

The 3rd annual Zachary M. Negrón Unforgettable Trail Race occurs Sunday, April 12, 2026. This race is a family-friendly event with a competitive edge. Both the 5K and 10K races are timed with a chip for those wanting some competition! This year, we are making it possible for the youngest runners to participate by including them in the day’s festivities with a Fun Run, which will allow those in second grade or younger to run a mile around the Georgia Cumberland Academy track.

We run in honor of two causes. The Unforgettable Foundation of Tennessee assists at-risk and grieving families with finances to help them afford a timely and dignified funeral for their children. The Zachary M. Negrón Memorial Scholarship gives scholarships to a select number of students at Georgia-Cumberland Academy who mirror the traits of perseverance and hard work, characteristics Zachary embraced as a student at GCA to accomplish his goals.

About Calhoun

Learn more about the host city, Calhoun.

Calhoun is in the Northwest High Country of Georgia and has this sort of idiosyncrasy in that it calls itself "The Land Of The Cherokee" even though there's hardly a Cherokee left standing, thanks to things like President Andrew Jackson and the Indian Removal Act. But there was a time when it was the land of the Cherokee, after they had been pushed out of their former territory in modern day eastern Tennessee and western South Carolina by European Americans. Here they established a town called Ustanali and then an actual capital called New Echota where council meetings were held and a newspaper was printed using the syllabary that Sequoyah had created. By the 1830s though, they were forced out by Georgia and the command of Winfield Scott, with broken treaties of promised sovereignty in the Indian Territory that would become Oklahoma. New Echota is now preserved as a historic site near Calhoun.
