Grab Your Running Shoes for the MLK5K Let Freedom Run

Posted on Jan 6, 2012 by Jennifer Wilkes

Join us on MLK Day, January 16, for the MLK5K Let Freedom Run. We are proud to be a water sponsor at this unique event. Race coordinators call this a race that gathers the diverse groups in our beloved Atlanta community to celebrate Martin Luther King Day in the spirit of sisterhood and brotherhood with fellowship and fitness.

This 5K walk/run will start and finish at the Shops Around Lenox parking lot. The USATF certified race course and Peachtree Road Race qualifier will circle Lenox Mall and the Buckhead business district.

This is a unique event that allows participants to register their school PTA, Church or other organization to receive proceeds from MLKDAY5K.
