From the Organizer
Welcome Home.
For 11 years, we’ve been doing the work of welcome together. This year, we welcome you home. No matter where you are coming from, we hope you find a bit of home here.
Join us for Atlanta’s most welcoming race — where every step supports job training for our refugee and immigrant neighbors, and every finisher line is a celebration of community built together.
This day is for everyone:
🏃 5K Run — Lace up and lead the way, or take a walk with friends
🥇 Competitive 1K — Let the kids shine
🎨 Color Run (or Walk) — Get gloriously messy
☕ Good coffee. Good company. — Stick around and soak it in
All ages. All paces. All welcome.
