AKF Walk & Run Atlanta
The AKF Walk & Run Atlanta takes place on November 15, 2026 at Truist Park & The Battery Atlanta. The event is organized by the Aga Khan Foundation USA and combines a timed 5K with a free walk inside the ballpark, alongside a daytime festival of activities.
Participants can choose between two participation options:
- 5K Run : chip-timed, USATF-certified course, finishes on the field.
- Walk : free, inside Truist Park with access to the field and concourses.
The 5K uses a USATF-certified course that starts on Battery Avenue and finishes on the field inside Truist Park. The run is chip-timed, features three water stations, and provides a bib at check-in and a swag bag at the finish. Official results and rankings are available, and the certified course allows qualification for other races that require verified times.
The walk route enters via the First Base Gate, climbs to the upper concourse, descends through the stands to field level, completes a lap of the warning track, and exits through the Left Field Gate into the CHOA Children’s Park. Two walk waves run the same route. A step-free option uses a Guest Services elevator escort and is suitable for wheelchairs and strollers. Everyone attending must register; the walk is free and includes children.
The event day also includes a 100-yard kids dash, mindful yoga, a Children’s Park with activities, two live-music stages, food trucks on Battery Avenue, an immersive 360 experience, a silent auction, and a Seniors Circle. Registrations run through RunSignUp, and on-site check-in manages credentials and race-day entries.
Proceeds and registrations support the Aga Khan Foundation’s work addressing the root causes of poverty through locally led development programs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
