Our Mission

The Atlanta International 5K/10K – Rep Your Flag exists to bring people together across cultures, backgrounds, and borders through movement. When we run together, we rise together. "Elite Experience. Global Culture.

This is more than a race—it’s a celebration of sisterhood, wellness, and community. We’re bringing even more energy and inclusivity to next year’s event with two exciting additions:

• Sisterhood Challenge (Group Challenge): We're challenging YOU to invite your sisters to join the movement! Whether they're friends, family, co-workers, or part of your Masjid, Church or Synagogue, build your team and show up strong. The biggest group will win special special perks - more details coming soon, so start rallying your crew. Deadline to win is 12/31/25

• NEW - 1 Mile Race Options: We're introducing a 1 mile race to make the experience even more accessible to everyone. Whether you're just getting started or simply want a shorter distance, this is your chance to cross the finish line with confidence.

Whether you're running 1 mile or 3, you’ll be part of the full 5K with ME experience—race shirt, music, community, and all! The 1 Mile is perfect for new runners, families, and anyone who wants to be part of the celebration without going the full 5K.

• College readiness kits to support successful postsecondary transitions

• Programs that strengthen both youth and the caregivers who walk alongside them

After the race, stay and celebrate at our Community Festival, featuring family-friendly activities, music, food, and opportunities to learn more about how you can support foster youth year-round. This event is an opportunity to move with purpose, raise awareness, and invest in futures that too often go unsupported.
