Atlanta Mission 5K Race to End Homelessness
The Atlanta Mission 5K is a charity road race held at Pemberton Place Greenspace with both in-person and virtual options. The course is USATF certified (GA17079WC) and serves as an AJC Peachtree Road Race qualifying event for in-person timed participants. The event supports Atlanta Mission programs; each registration fee covers one night of shelter and services for someone who would otherwise sleep outside.
The race includes a wheelchair division with no special qualification requirement. Awards will be given; overall awards use gun time and age group awards use chip time. There are no standard finisher medals so registration fees can support shelter services, but an optional medal add-on is available for an additional fee.
Packet pickup is available before race day at the Atlanta Mission Administrative Offices and on race morning at Pemberton Place Greenspace. Online registration opens October 1, 2026, and there are specific deadlines for virtual packet delivery and in-person registration. All entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Supporters can join the Miles for Hope fundraising challenge. Participants who raise funds through an individual page or who commit to monthly giving may earn an event sweatshirt. The race provides one water station on the course and complimentary post-race water. In extreme weather the organizer may cancel or convert the event to an untimed run without issuing refunds.
