4th Annual Run for Reading 5k
About the Event
TREAD Academy is hosting its 4th Annual 5K Run/Walk.
Reading is the foundation of education, opportunity, and lifelong success—but many students in Georgia are struggling to reach that foundation.
Recent reports show that approximately 62% of Georgia’s third graders are not reading proficiently, a critical milestone that strongly predicts future academic success. Students who are not reading on grade level by third grade are four times more likely to drop out of high school, making early literacy one of the most important issues facing our communities today.
Literacy challenges don’t stop in childhood. Nearly 1 million adults in Georgia have low literacy skills, which affects employment opportunities, economic mobility, and even the ability to support the next generation of learners.
The Run for Reading 5K was created to help change that trajectory.
Each year, our community comes together to raise awareness and support literacy initiatives that put books in children’s hands, strengthen reading programs, and encourage a culture of learning. By running or walking in this event, participants are helping promote a simple but powerful idea:
Every child deserves the opportunity to read, learn, and succeed.
Together, we can take steps—literally and figuratively—toward building stronger readers and brighter futures.
After the race, stay and enjoy our Annual Spring Festival. All race participants will receive free entry to the festival.
