Our team at Mountaintop Boys Home invites you to our inaugural 5K fundraising event.

Mountain Top is a Group Home for teen boys, and a foster care agency located on expansive acreage near the Chattahoochee National Forest. The mission of Mountain Top is to provide hope and healing to children and families that find themselves in crisis. These boys often arrive with unsureness of where life is bringing hem. With the challenges that they are facing, we help provide a place of hope and healing. Their daily life here is an organized family style living, guided by professional staff who care for each boy individually.

Our event provides several ways you can participate and support.

  • Run our 5K course in-person

  • Participate virtually from your place of choice. Run, walk...or even roller skate! Move at your own pace and what is comfortable for your body.

  • Purchase our Inaugural Run for Hope shirt by being a Phantom Runner participant. Not running, but wanting to support.
