Lace up your shoes for the 3rd Annual CTAE 5K, set to take place on Saturday, February 14, 2026, in the vibrant heart of Atlanta, Georgia. This inspiring 3.1-mile event is more than just a race; it's a spirited celebration of Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE) scholars within Atlanta Public Schools.

The race officially kicks off at 8:30 AM EST, offering a fantastic opportunity for community members, family, and friends to come together.
What truly makes the CTAE 5K unique is its impactful mission: all proceeds directly benefit APS CTAE student scholarships, fostering educational pathways and supporting future leaders. Participants are encouraged to showcase their school spirit by sporting their favorite APS school shirts or colors, adding to the festive atmosphere during CTAE Month. For those unable to join in person, a virtual 5K option ensures everyone can support this worthy cause at their own pace.
