CFC Atlanta Family Caregiver 5K Walk and Run

Atlanta's streets become both a celebration of Black cultural heritage and a lifeline for unsung heroes at the CFC Family Caregiver 5K Walk and Run on February 28, 2026, where every stride directly funds respite care grants for those providing constant, often invisible, support to loved ones. This second annual event intertwines physical activity with cultural enrichment, featuring Black History trivia stations and curated music along the route that transform a traditional 5K into a moving tribute to resilience across generations. More than fundraising, this gathering creates sacred space for caregivers to practice communal self-care while their essential work receives the recognition and tangible support it deserves.

With long-sleeve commemorative shirts for all participants, exclusive medallions for the first 50 finishers, and special awards for top podium placements, the event honors athletic achievement while prioritizing its deeper mission. The morning culminates in a 10:20 AM celebration ceremony where new care grants are announced—a powerful reminder that the most meaningful finish lines aren't marked by chalk, but by expanded capacity for compassion in Atlanta's caregiving community.
