APS 5K

APS Family, we need you. Get ready to lace up your shoes and join us for a thrilling event to start the school year— the APS 5K and Character Fun Run! Mark your calendars for Saturday, Sept. 7th and plan to meet us at HJ Russell West End Academy, where we will continue celebrating Atlanta Public Schools with a race for a great cause.

The price of registration includes a race bib and a commemorative T-shirt, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit students and teachers of Atlanta Public Schools.

This event is open to runners and walkers of all ages, even the little ones ages 11 and under, who can participate in the Character Fun Run by dressing as their favorite book character. All other participants are encouraged to show their spirit by wearing their favorite APS school shirt or school colors for the 5K.
