We Run As One

Get ready for the 2nd Annual We Run As One Color Run

— brought to you by the Youth Advisory Council (YAC)!

YAC is a group of high schoolers from across Fulton County who are passionate about making our community stronger. Want to know more about us?  Click here.

What's happening:

Make memories together at our 1-mile color fun run — an adventure perfect for all ages!

Plus, enjoy FREE family games, activities, vendor tables, and community resource booths.

Come connect, play, and celebrate as a community!

Why it matters:

This event is all about CONNECTION. Did you know that 18% of Fulton County youth say they have no one to talk to when they're feeling depressed or struggling? We want every young person in our community to know they are not alone — and that help is out there.

This year, we're especially focused on students making the transition from 8th to 9th grade, one of the most challenging jumps a young person can face. By bringing youth together with their peers, families, and trusted community adults, we believe we can reduce isolation and boost mental health for ALL Fulton County youth.

This event is substance-free, inclusive, and welcoming to everyone — regardless of age, ability, or background.

Come run with us. Come connect. Come be part of something bigger.
