Atlanta (of course) has been selected as one of the host cities for this groundbreaking event!

On 10.10.26, educators, supporters, and communities across the country will move together as part of the:

👉 National Day to Move for Education

Our Atlanta event will take place on the Beltline starting at Herman J Russell West End Academy - the field behind the school. 

We ❤️ Teachers Worldwide is the world's largest simultaneous teacher celebration. 

🌎 WHAT YOU’RE JOINING:

- 10 in-person races across the U.S.
- Thousands of virtual participants nationwide
- A shared goal:
👉 Celebrate educators. Strengthen communities.
 
🔥 WHY THIS MATTERS
When educators are healthy, supported, and energized…
