WHY IT MATTERS:
This event is all about CONNECTION. Did you know that 18% of Fulton County youth say they have no one to turn to when they're struggling? We want every young person in our community to know they are not alone and that help is out there.
This year we're especially focused on students making the transition from 8th to 9th grade one of the most challenging jumps a young person can face. By bringing youth together with their peers, families, and trusted community adults, we believe we can reduce isolation and boost mental health for ALL Fulton County youth.
This event is substance-free and welcoming to everyone regardless of age, ability, or background.
COME RUN WITH US. COME CONNECT. COME BE PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER.
