Ripple Run 5K

The 4th Pebble Tossers RIPPLE RUN 5K/1K + Nonprofit Expo is a highly motivational, action packed Run and Service Event where youth and families actively engage in giving back to the community.


The 5K run will be a Peachtree Road Race qualifier and the 1K fun run/walk will be stroller & dog friendly. The Nonprofit Expo at the end of the race will feature 20 nonprofits and they will be hosting their own impactful service projects related to their missions.
All participants will receive a long-sleeved 100% cotton t-shirt and a packed swag bag. This shirt will become your favorite shirt! 
This is a great opportunity for Corporate Teams, Civic Groups, Scouts and School Teams to compete and students to earn service hours.
