Race4Grace/Atlanta

Race4Grace/Atlanta takes place in Atlanta, Georgia, on November 21, 2026, with a single 5K starting at 9:00 a.m. The event brings the Race4Grace name to Atlanta with a straightforward 3.1-mile format on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, giving local runners and walkers a late-November morning to share a finish line.

For a 5K in the city, the mid-morning start works well for most schedules: a light breakfast around 7:00 a.m., bib pickup, then ten minutes of easy jogging and a few strides before the gun. If you are chasing a time, keep one weekly session of short repeats at 5K effort and one steady 4- to 5-mile run in the six weeks before the race. If you are newer to running, focus on consistency instead, with three easy run-walk sessions a week that gradually stretch the running portions until you can cover 30 minutes without stopping. Either approach will have you enjoying the distance on race day.
