Description

Back-to-school 5K to celebrate the upcoming ‘25-26 school year!

Educators & the community coming together to run, laugh, dance & appreciate good health.  You don't have to run -you can walk, you can watch, you can cheer, you can sponsor and you can volunteer! However you decide to participate, you're going to have fun!   For the past 13 years, we have worked with teachers to improve their health and wellness. 

The race will be held in beautiful Westside Park, Atlanta’s largest green space. Yes, it's where The Walking Dead and Stranger Things were filmed.  See if you can remember any scenes as you enjoy your run.  If you can't make it, but still want to support the cause, sign up for the Virtual Race.  

All 5K participants receive T-shirts & Finisher Medals.  Race will be chip timed.

Award Categories: Overall Male and Female.  Then Top 3 Male and Female - 14 & Under, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70+

New Awards for this year:

1. Most School Spirit (School with highest participation)
2. Fastest Teacher
3. Team Champion (Lowest average time - Minimum Team Size is 4 - form your team)
4. Legacy Award - Best Parent-Child Duo Time

There will be music, food and prizes.  Form a team and COMPETE!

It is a great event that just needs YOU to make it special.
