A 5K run/walk, a certified 10K run and a fun run for families will begin at 8 a.m. in front of the Four Seasons Hotel at 75 14th Street. The race course will wind through Midtown and end in Piedmont Park.

Registration fees are $20 in advance, $25 the day of the race, $50 for VIP runners (includes complimentary valet parking and post-race continental breakfast at the Four Seasons) and $15 per person for teams of 10 or more.
