Cocoa Classic 5K

REGISTRATION OPENS MARCH 1, 2026

The Atlanta Cancer Care Foundation's Feathers 5K is a community based and family friendly fund run and walk in which participants can "flock together" to help make the financial burden of cancer as light as a feather! The Feathers 5K will take place on Saturday, June 6th at 8:00 a.m. at Oglethorpe University. The Feathers 5K benefits the Atlanta Cancer Care Foundation (ACCF), a local nonprofit organization whose mission is to reduce the additional stress that a cancer diagnosis could bring by providing assistance to patients in financial need. ACCF is dedicated to providing this critical financial assistance to adults living with cancer across our 17-county metro Atlanta service area. In 2024, ACCF provided over $450,000 in assistance to more than 1,600 metro Atlanta cancer patients in need.

If you would like to volunteer for this year’s event, please email Dr. Hiba Tamim at [email protected].

The Chastain Chase 5K Run and 3K Walk is a joyful community tradition held in celebration of National Cancer Survivors Day. Benefiting Cancer Support Community Atlanta, this family-friendly event invites participants of all ages to run or walk a beautiful course through historic Chastain Park. Participants are encouraged to create teams of friends, family members, and coworkers to walk or run together in honor of a loved one who has been affected by cancer. It’s a meaningful way to celebrate survivors, remember those we love, and come together as a community of support.

Families and strollers are welcome! Registration for Walk-Up participants opens at 7am and the 5K and 1.5 walk start at 8am sharp.

The Chastain Chase benefits Cancer Support Community Atlanta, a nonprofit organization affiliated with Northside Hospital Cancer Institute, dedicated to providing support services for people facing cancer. Funds raised will help provide support groups, stress reduction classes, nutrition programs and education forums to support people through a cancer diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship.
