The Augusta Sports Council is proud to be the local host organization for the Augusta Half Marathon, 10K & 5K! The 18th annual event serves as the non-profit's primary fundraising event for their annual G.A.M.E.S. Scholarship fund which is awarded to selected graduating high school student athletes each May. The ASC is a 501c(3) organization focuses on enriching the quality of life and economic well-being for the Augusta metropolitan area by supporting and attracting sporting activities.

These events have attracted 450,000+ athletes to compete in Augusta, generating more than $400 million in economic impact to the Augusta community. Additionally, the Augusta Sports Council is also the home of the Ray Guy Award which is given to the top College Punter of the Year.
