5K Run/Walk Race to Change Destinies

Race to Change Destinies

Race to Change Destinies is The King’s Court Atlanta’s annual charity 5K Run/Walk, bringing families, friends, and neighbors together each spring for a high‑energy morning of purpose and community. This year’s event takes place Saturday, April 11, 2026 at 9435 Willeo Road, Roswell, GA 30075, with an atmosphere that’s equal parts inspiring and fun. The course begins at the church grounds and heads out along Willeo Road, crossing the Azalea/Willeo intersection before continuing onto the trail — with cheerleaders and volunteers stationed along the route to keep you motivated and on track. At the halfway point, you’ll find a hydration stop at River Landing Park, then it’s back with momentum toward the finish. Race morning kicks off with welcome remarks, an uplifting start, and a Zumba warm‑up to get the energy going before the race kick‑off. After you cross the finish line, the celebration continues with goody bags and refreshments, a lively community vibe, and an awards ceremony recognizing top finishers across multiple age categories. Most importantly, every step supports a mission bigger than the miles — raising awareness around homelessness and helping fund outreach efforts like meals through the King’s Table initiative and seasonal clothing and toy drives that serve people in need across our community. And if you love a fun finish? Past event plans have included music/DJ energy, dancing, raffles, and prize moments that make it feel like a celebration, not just a race. Come run, walk, cheer, and connect — and help us change destinies, one stride at a time.
