The Atlanta Dogwood Festival is adding a new 5K race for 2023, which will benefit the Atlanta High School Art Exhibition.
In addition to the popular Mimosa 5K, held on festival Saturday in April, organizers will introduce the Atlanta Dogwood Festival Run for the Arts 5K in February.
Both 5K events – which are Peachtree Road Race qualifiers – welcome runners, walkers, strollers and rollers. Participants signing up for both races will receive a discount on the bundle.
