Race Announcement:
Unfortunately, the current weather conditions are not optimal for running the 2023 BK5K here in Atlanta GA. The safety of participants is our number one priority so we are cancelling the December 2, 2023 Run/Walk.
Does this have an impact on grants and what about our 2023 registration fees?
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you in 2024!

Does this have an impact on grants and what about our 2023 registration fees?
- We will still be providing $20,000 in grants to local non-profit youth organizations
- We will still be honoring the Run for Funds organization that had the most people registered to support them
- We will be deferring all registrations to the 2024 BK5K, a coupon code will be sent to you when registration opens for this
- We will also be sending information out this week on how to get your 2023 BK5K t-shirt.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you in 2024!
