Make-A-Wish 5K Marietta
The Make-A-Wish 5K in Marietta is an annual fundraising event whose proceeds are donated to Make-A-Wish Georgia to help grant wishes for Cobb County children with critical illnesses. The event includes both timed and untimed 5K options and, for the first time, a 1K fun run for children ages 4 to 11. A donation-only Phantom Runner option is available for supporters who cannot attend; registrants for that option receive a race t-shirt by mail and must submit a registration form.
Event offerings and fees listed by the organizer:
- 5K (timed) : registration fee $37.00
- 5K (untimed walk/run) : registration fee $33.00
- 1K (ages 4 to 11) : registration fee $15.00
The event is listed as a Peachtree Road Race qualifying event. A designated start is provided for wheelchair participants. Packet pick-up is scheduled the Thursday and Friday before the race at local locations in Marietta; specific times and addresses are provided by the organizer. The primary gathering location is Marietta Square at 50 N Park Square, Marietta, GA 30060. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
