Ready to Run 5K

REaDy to Run 5K Run/Walk

REaDy to Run 5K Run/Walk is a community run and walk held in Atlanta on April 17, 2027. The event offers both an in-person 5K and a virtual 5K option and is presented in its sixth year. Proceeds benefit British Swim Schools in partnership with Hope Floats Foundation, and the event is sponsored by the Marietta-Roswell Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated.

The course is USATF certified (cert number GA23014DJ), includes many flat sections with a few gentle slopes, and serves as a qualifier for the AJC Peachtree Road Race. Strollers and pets are not allowed. The 5K has a time limit of 1 hour and 15 minutes; participants remaining on course after the time limit will be asked to vacate the course.

Timing is provided by RFID timing from Performance Race Services. To ensure accurate chip to chip times, bibs must be worn on the front of the torso, unaltered, pinned in all four corners, and uncovered. Results are published live within minutes of completion.

The virtual option allows participants to run or walk a 5K on a preferred course or treadmill during race week. Virtual participants receive a finisher medal by mail before race day. Event swag for in-person participants includes a short sleeve T-shirt and a finisher medal; T-shirt sizes are not guaranteed for registrations after March 31, 2027. Race bibs and event swag are distributed only at packet pickup and there is no race day packet pickup. Packet pickup takes place on April 10, April 15, and April 16 at local running store and facility locations in the Atlanta area.

All registrations are final and nontransferable. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
