Cobb County 5K benefiting Make a Wish Georgia

Every year, Cobb County hosts the Make-A-Wish 5K, a 5-kilometer run the benefits of which are donated to Make-A-Wish® Georgia to grant wishes for Cobb County children with critical illnesses. This year, there are many children in Cobb County waiting to have his or her wish granted. It is our hope to grant more wishes and we know that it takes a community to make this happen. Help us put a smile on a child's face by making their wish come true. To find out more about Make-A-Wish, visit: https://wish.org/georgia/our-stories.

The Make-A-Wish 5K is a Peachtree Road Race qualifying event.

This will be the first year that we are incorporating a 1K race for small children. Bring them on out and let them burn off some energy. 

Participants assemble on the Marietta Square, pre-race festivities begins at 7:00 a.m., the race begins promptly at 8:15 a.m. The 1K race will begin at 7:45 a.m. Walk-up registration begins at 6:30 a.m., ending at 7:30 a.m. 

Join us and let's run for a great cause! 

The race will go on as planned unless conditions are deemed hazardous to runners and volunteers.
