Summer/Fall Running Groups
(Winship 5K)

Looking for a fun and supportive running community to prepare for the Winship 5K? Emory employees have over nine opportunities to train each week across the city. Come run with your colleagues and get ready for this monumental race.

These weekly runs are hosted in the twelve weeks leading up to the Winship 5K. This 5K Race takes place every Fall and serves as the largest fundraiser for the Emory Winship Cancer Institute. Participants can be entered into a random prize drawing for a Big Peach Running Company swag bag for participating in at least eight weekly runs and completing the Winship 5K. We encourage you to join the Healthy Emory team.

This race starts on Asbury Circle behind Cox Hall and finishes at McDonough Field. The route is a loop (approximately 3.2 miles) around the historic Emory University campus. View the racecourse.
