Meaningful Running Opportunity

Meaningful Miles 5K
Saturday, August 24 at 7:30 a.m.
680 Dallas Street (across from the new Ponce City Market)

The second annual Meaningful Miles Run/Walk 5k sponsored by AT&T gives Atlantans the chance to run alongside - not past - individuals transitioning out of homelessness in our city.

Back on My Feet (BoMF) is a national for-purpose 501(c)3 organization that uses running to help those experiencing homelessness change the way they see themselves so they can make real change in their lives that results in employment and independent living.

The organization’s mission is not to create runners within the homeless population, but to use running to create self-sufficiency in the lives of those experiencing homelessness. The program’s success is measured by how many Members achieve independence through employment and housing.

Each mile honors one of our partner facilities-  Trinity Community Ministries, Gateway Center, and Salvation Army.  As Back on My Feet grows so will this annual race, always adding one mile per partner shelter.

Register online in advance or register on race day for $35 at the Packet Pick-Up tent.
