Run The Block 5K

THE TECH RACE - Sunday, August 9, 2026 - 7:30am

Start lines are easy. Finish lines change you.

This isn't just a race. It's a movement.

The Tech Race is Atlanta's inaugural community 5K: built for the engineers, founders, students, and operators who know that the same drive that gets you to launch gets you to the finish line. This is the first. The one people will say they were at when it all began. Be a part of it.

Atlanta's tech community has never moved like this before. 3.1 miles. Hundreds of builders, creators and innovators moving side by side, stride by stride. This is what the ecosystem looks like in motion. One city. One communiy. One race.

Powered by innovation. Run by community.
