Race Information
Take part in the Cocoa Classic Charity 5K, a community-focused event dedicated to providing new athletic shoes to underserved children in Atlanta. Founded in 2023 as an Eagle Scout project, the race has grown into an annual tradition, raising funds to donate over 1,100 pairs of shoes to kids in need. The race features a fun and fast USATF-certified loop course, perfect for runners of all levels, and serves as a Peachtree Road Race qualifier. Every participant will receive a Cocoa Classic-branded YETI cup as a thank-you for supporting the cause. Proceeds from the event go directly toward purchasing high-quality athletic shoes, giving children the confidence and resources they need to thrive.
