The Elaine Clark Center Hustle for Hope 5K & 1.5 Mile Fun Run

The Elaine Clark Center Hustle for Hope 5K & 1.5 Mile Fun Run is held in Chamblee, Georgia, on April 24, 2027. The 5K (3.1 miles) can be entered individually or as a team, and the 1.5 Mile Fun Run, about 2.4 km, starts at 10:05 AM. Awards go to the fastest male and female runners, and the event supports the Frank Clark Memorial Scholarship Fund, which provides essential services to children and young adults with special needs.

The family atmosphere and the short fun run make this easy to enter with children, while the team option gives running groups and workplaces a reason to turn up together. If you are chasing one of the awards, treat it as a genuine 5K: warm up thoroughly, start at a pace you can hold rather than one that feels good in the first minute, and press over the final mile. Four to six weeks of consistent running prepares most people for the distance.
