The Vinings Down Hill 5K Run for the Kids
The Vinings Down Hill 5K Run for the Kids takes place on August 8, 2026 in Vinings, Atlanta. The event marks its 30th anniversary and raises funds for local children’s charities. Runners, walkers, spectators, and pets are part of the gathering.
The 5K course begins at the top of Mt. Wilkinson, winds through the Cumberland area, and finishes at The Lovett School. The route features a net 280 foot elevation drop but is not entirely downhill. The course includes three short climbs, located near the half mile mark, during the second mile, and in the final half mile, along with longer downhill sections.
The event program includes multiple distance options:
- 5K Run
- Kids 1K Fun Run
- Doggie Dash & Costume Contest
The morning concludes with a post race party at Vinings Jubilee that includes awards, music, food, and a sponsor expo. The mix of race distances and community activities creates a neighborhood event focused on fundraising and local participation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
