Run for Justice 5K - Atlanta

Run for Justice 5K - Atlanta is run in Atlanta, Georgia, on November 7, 2026, with the 5K (3.1 miles) run and walk starting at 8 a.m. It is an annual race benefiting the Atlanta Legal Aid Society, held on a scenic course in the Grant Park and Zoo Atlanta neighborhood, and it accommodates competitive runners and casual walkers alike. The course is USATF certified, which means times run here can be used to qualify for the Northside Hospital Peachtree Road Race, and chip timing is available.

Certification is the detail that matters if you are chasing something. A measured course plus chip timing gives you a result you can actually use, whether that is a Peachtree qualifying time or a genuine personal best. Race it accordingly: warm up for fifteen minutes, run a few strides, and go through the first mile at goal pace rather than ahead of it.
