Buckhead WALKED and RAN Our Way Into a Healthy Summer!

Well, Buckhead that’s a wrap!

The 2019 buckheadWALKS! and buckheadRUN! 5K are over, but the efforts and enthusiasm put forth by participants will be felt throughout Buckhead for years to come. In just one month more than 500 participants and 250 racers committed to living healthier and making healthy changes in our community.

From Buckhead neighbors in condo communities to hotel employees, our participation ran the gamut! Collectively, we walked 55,069 miles through the challenge, which to put that in perspective is equivalent to circling the Earth twice. Our challengers didn’t just walk more during the month, they developed new friends, explored unique segments of Buckhead and earned some pretty sweet prizes along the way. Participants attended happy hours with our local restaurants, morning walks with the Atlanta Track Club at the Grand Hyatt, and learned about the development happening in Buckhead with the Buckhead Community Improvement District and PATH400 construction.
