Spring 5K | May 16, 2026

We are excited to invite you to join us for a new meaningful spring tradition that brings our community together in support of life-affirming care.

On Saturday, May 16, 2026, Atlanta Care Center will host our 2nd Annual Spring 5K at Allatoona Creek Park. This event is designed to be welcoming and enjoyable for everyone- runners, walkers, families, and supporters alike. Whether you’re logging miles on the trail or cheering from the sidelines, your presence helps move our mission forward.

Not interested in running? That’s perfectly fine. Come enjoy the morning, encourage participants, and grab breakfast from Chick-fil-A, our featured food vendor for the event, with additional vendors expected to join us. Visit our Facebook Page to get updates on other vendors!
