Event Overview
The With ME 5K is an athletic event held in Atlanta, Georgia, centered on wellness and community. The event takes place at Shirley Clarke Franklin Park (formerly known as Westside Park), where the course follows an out-and-back route along the scenic Proctor Creek Trail. Activities are designed to be inclusive, offering various ways to participate including running, jogging, walking, and skipping.
Participants have access to several event categories:
- 1 Mile
- 5K (Run/Walk or Walking Only)
- Virtual (1 Mile or 5K)
Participation Details
The event features a specific distinction between running and walking categories for those interested in awards. The walking-only category requires participants to walk exclusively throughout the entire route. Those registered for the general 1 Mile or 5K events may use any combination of running, jogging, or walking.
The race environment includes music and a race day celebration focused on healthy living and sisterhood. Attendees can interact with wellness partners to learn about health-related topics. For those not in the Atlanta area, virtual options allow participants to complete their chosen distance at any location.
Logistics and Honors
The main event site is located at 1660 Johnson Rd NW, with primary and secondary parking lots available for vehicle access. Early packet pick-up is scheduled for the two days preceding the race at a location to be determined. On-site registration and packet collection are also available on race day.
For the 5K distance, awards are presented to the top three overall finishers in both run and walk categories, as well as the top three in age groups ranging from under 10 to over 80. Registered participants receive custom modest race shirts and finisher medals, though availability of 2026-specific items depends on the registration date.
