About the NABJ 5K Run/Walk ~ Run • Walk • Connect
This race is part of the NABJ Convention & Career Fair, so the crowd includes journalists, media professionals, students, and supporters from across the country. The course runs along the Westside Beltline at Lee & White, a repurposed industrial corridor with wide paths and a distinctly urban feel. Chip timing keeps it honest for those who want a real result.
A complimentary shuttle runs from the convention headquarters hotel to the start, which matters because parking in that part of Atlanta can be unpredictable. A post-race celebration follows the finish. Race-day registration is possible only if space remains, so signing up in advance is the safer move.
