Vinings Down Hill 5K Run for the Kids

Atlanta

This year, an anticipated 2,000 runners, walkers, and spectators, will gather for the Vinings Down Hill 5K race. The Vinings Down Hill 5K course begins at the top of Mt. Wilkinson, winds around the Cumberland Mall area, and ends at the Lovett School (280-foot net drop). Despite the name of the race, well, it’s “not quite” all downhill. There are 3 hills to climb throughout the race: at the half-mile mark, during the second mile, and during the last half mile. There are also 3 really amazing downhill sections that make up for those climbs! Fast times can be expected for this Peachtree Road Race qualifying event. There is also a Kids 1K Fun Run and a fun Doggie Dash & Costume Contest! The event includes a huge post race party at Vinings Jubilee with awards, music, great food and expo. The Vinings Down Hill 5K Run for the Kids is presented by The Vinings Cumberland Rotary Club and proceeds benefit local children's charities.
