Greater Atlanta Athletes was founded in 2014 with the creation of the West Georgia 15k/5k. In 2015, we created the Greater Atlanta Run Series, a series of running events for athletes of all levels taking place at some of Greater Atlanta's most scenic venues.
Our goal is to produce an annual season of running events of various distances and on various surfaces at beautiful and unique locations throughout Greater Atlanta that inspire and motivate through community, friendly competition, and the beauty of the outdoors. We endeavor to locate and select picturesque locations to hold our events and expose participants to a variety of Greater Atlanta's amazing parks, trails, and race courses. We strive to produce a complement of events that promote fun, health, and personal achievement. We seek to put on events we would want to participate in - which means an enthusiastic and friendly atmosphere; scenic and challenging courses; well organized and efficient; cool shirts and awards; chip timing; free photos; free kids fun runs; and reasonable pricing.
Moreover, as a for-profit company, we aspire to give back to our local communities and beyond. Since our inception in 2014, we have directly donated more than $14,000 to various non-profit organizations, including Communities in Schools of Carrollton City and Carroll County, Communities in Schools of Douglas County, the Polk County CHAMPS (Choosing Healthy Activities and Methods Promoting Safety) educational program, and Friends of Panola Mountain State Park.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or suggestions - we would very much like to hear from you. We look forward to seeing you at a Greater Atlanta Athletes event!
