Georgia Aquarium’s 5K walk/run returns for its ninth year. Starting and finishing at some of the most recognizable landmarks in downtown Atlanta, this Atlanta Journal-Constitution Peachtree Road Race Qualifier (in-person only) 3.1-mile course is a quick "out and back" run/jog/walk for all ages.

Can't make it downtown? There's a virtual option just for you! No matter where you live, we want you to run for the ocean.

Whether your motivation is running your first 5K, getting back in shape, preparing for the Peachtree Road Race or a longer distance race, by participating you'll make an impact on aquatic animal conservation.

All participants will receive:

• Runner's bib

• Drawstring bag

• Commemorative t-shirt

• Collectable themed finisher medal

• (2025 merchandise pictured below)

All proceeds for the 5K go toward the Aquarium's research and conservation initiatives here at home and across the globe. This furthers the understanding of the ocean's animals to aid in their survival for generations to come.
