From the venue:

A 5K walk/run benefiting We Love Buford Highway will take place Sunday, Oct. 19, at the Peachtree Creek Greenway, 1793 Briarwood Road.

For the third year, a 5K benefitting We Love Buford Highway will kick off Sunday’s festival festivities. The 5K will again take place along the Peachtree Creek Greenway. We Love Buford Highway­ is a 501(C)3 non-profit whose mission is preserving the multicultural identity of the Buford Highway corridor.

“Now in its third year, we are profoundly honored and deeply grateful for the City of Brookhaven’s continued partnership and trust in us,” said Lily Pabian, Executive Director of We Love Buford Highway. “By naming us the beneficiary of this 5K, the city is not only celebrating the unique spirit of Buford Highway but also investing directly in our youth orchestra program, which nurtures the next generation through music and opportunity. Preserving this place takes vision, coalitions, and celebrations; this weekend is a shining example of what’s possible when a city leads with heart.”

The 5K is a qualifier for the AJC Peachtree Road Race and is a USATF-certified course. It takes place along the Peachtree Creek Greenway and adjacent parking lots, making it safe for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities.
