On August 8th, 2026, an anticipated 2,000 runners, walkers, and spectators, will gather for the 2026 Vinings Downhill 5K race. The Vinings Down Hill 5K course begins at the top of Mt. Wilkinson, winds around the Cumberland Mall area, and ends at the Lovett School (280-foot net drop).

Despite the name of the race, well, it’s “not quite” all downhill…there are 3 hills to climb throughout the race – at the half-mile mark, during the second mile and during the last half-mile. There are also 3 really amazing down hill sections that make up for those climbs!

There is also a Kids 1K Fun Run and a fun Doggie Dash & Costume Contest!

Our event includes a huge post race party at Vinings Jubilee with awards, music, great food and expo.

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.
