Ed Levy 5K by AIA & LATINA LEADS

Ed Levy 5K by AIA & LATINA LEADS takes place in Alpharetta, Georgia, on May 2, 2027. The event is built around one distance, a 5K covering 3.1 miles, with the start set for 8:00 a.m. A single format and a single early start make it a simple morning: arrive, warm up, run, and be finished well before the rest of the day begins.

Races of this size are a good place to try a distance for the first time, and 3.1 miles is short enough that consistent easy running is nearly all the preparation you need. Aim for three runs a week over the preceding six weeks and include one session where you run harder for a few minutes at a time. More experienced runners can use it as a spring benchmark before moving up to a 10K or a half marathon later in the year. Line up according to your expected pace so the opening half mile stays clean.
