Individuals, families, and businesses alike (and even some mascots!) joined in on the fun, racing to become the healthiest community in Georgia.
With just over 980 runners, the race was a competitive one. The top three finishers for the 5K finished within 30 seconds of each other, with Charles Mathews taking 1st with a time of 20:00. Megha Singh, who finished 1st among all women, came in 2nd overall with a time of 20:21.
Over 100 runners participated in the 10K, with Seongeun Yu finishing 1st overall with a total of 39:14, and Lauren Bach finishing first among women with a time of 45:45.
The race was a Peachtree Road Race qualifier. A portion of proceeds will benefit the Hudgens Center for Art & Learning.
