REaDy to Run 5K Run/Walk
The REaDy to Run 5K Run/Walk is a family-friendly community run and walk in Atlanta taking place on April 17, 2027. The event marks its sixth year and raises funds for British Swim Schools in partnership with the Hope Floats Foundation, which provides scholarships and tuition assistance for swim lessons.
Two participation options are offered:
- In-person 5K (3.1 miles)
- Virtual 5K (3.1 miles)
The in-person course is USATF certified (GA23014DJ), contains 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 still on course after the limit will be asked to vacate the course.
Official timing uses RFID chip timing. To ensure an accurate time, bibs should be visible on the front of the torso, unaltered, pinned in all four corners, and uncovered. Results are published live and are chip-to-chip times.
Virtual participants may complete a 5K on a preferred course or treadmill during race week and 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. Awards are given overall for male and female finishers. All registrations are final and non-transferable.
Packet pickup is scheduled on April 15 and April 16, 2027 at Big Peach Running Co. locations in Smyrna and Marietta, Georgia. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
