HGF's 14th Annual 5K Run & Walk for Kids' Growth - Atlanta
The Human Growth Foundation, in collaboration with the Department of Endocrinology at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, organizes a community 5K event in Atlanta that combines a certified, paved course with family-oriented activities and a health and resource fair. The route passes through Piedmont Park and is described as wheelchair and stroller accessible.
The event includes a kids' fun run, giveaways, live entertainment, raffle prizes, display booths, and post-race refreshments. Awards are presented to the fastest male and female in each age category, including 10 years and under, youth, and adult divisions. Conventional timing methods will be used for official results. Professional photographers and videographers will record the event; registration includes consent for use of photos and video for promotional purposes.
Registered participants receive an event t-shirt, bib, and a finisher medal; food and refreshments are provided. Volunteer high school and college groups may receive community service hours. Organizers state they will follow current public health guidance and provide accessible course options for participants of varying abilities. The event notice also includes a heat warning with guidance on hydration, clothing, and recognition of heat-related symptoms. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
