Description

Many runners claim this is “the race” to meet your Personal Best! This 5K is an Atlanta AJC Peachtree Road Race qualifier.

                   25th Anniversary and Raising the Bar for Children's Charities

The Vinings Down Hill 5K course begins at the top of Mt. Wilkinson, winds around the Cumberland Mall area, and ends at the Lovett School (280-foot net drop). Despite the name of the race, well, it’s “not quite” all down hill…there are 3 hills to climb throughout the race – at the half-mile mark, during the second mile and during the last half-mile. There are also 3 really amazing down hill sections that make up for those climbs!

There is also a 1 K Fun Run and a fun Doggie Dash & Costume Contest!

Our event includes a huge post race party at Vinings Jubilee with awards, music, great food and expo.
