We partner with the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral to host this race and promote the Yiasou Greek Festival, the southeast largest cultural festival, hosted in September each year. The Cathedral’s GOYA (Greek Orthodox Young Adults) come out on race day and volunteer, making sure everything runs smoothly. The mission of the Greek Orthodox Youth of America (GOYA) is to provide 6th through 12th graders the opportunity for fellowship, service, witness and worship with one another, and with other GOYA members throughout the Holy Metropolis of Atlanta, and from across the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America.
