Lace up your sneakers for the 12th Annual Family Stays 5K, set to take place on Saturday, February 28, 2026, in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia. This impactful event invites runners and walkers of all ages to hit the scenic streets of the Georgia Tech campus, with the 5K course starting and finishing at the iconic Tech Green. Beyond the personal challenge, participants will be running for a purpose, as proceeds from the race directly benefit the Atlanta Ronald McDonald House Charities and the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation, supporting families in need. Adding to the festive atmosphere, this event is proudly pet-friendly, so your canine companions are welcome to join in the fun.
The Family Stays 5K offers a "modified Pi Mile" route around the beautiful Georgia Tech grounds, providing a pleasant and engaging experience for all participants. As a registered qualifier for the prestigious 2026 Atlanta Journal-Constitution Peachtree Road Race, it's also an excellent opportunity for competitive runners to secure their spot. Early birds are rewarded, with the first 300 5K registrants to pick up their packets receiving a commemorative event t-shirt. Typical race day conditions in late February in Atlanta feature comfortable highs around 61F and lows around 40F, with a relatively low 17% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.
Whether you're aiming for a personal best, enjoying a leisurely walk with family and pets, or simply want to contribute to a worthy cause, the Family Stays 5K promises a memorable and community-focused experience. Join fellow runners in supporting families and making a difference in the vibrant city of Atlanta.
