The Tech Race 5K

About the Event

THE TECH RACE - Sunday, August 9, 2026 - 7:30am

Start lines are easy. Finish lines change you.

This isn't just a race. It's a movement.

The Tech Race is Atlanta's inaugural community 5K: built for the engineers, founders, students, and operators who know that the same drive that gets you to launch gets you to the finish line. This is the first. The one people will say they were at when it all began. Be a part of it.

Atlanta's tech community has never moved like this before. 3.1 miles. Hundreds of builders, creators and innovators moving side by side, stride by stride. This is what the ecosystem looks like in motion. One city. One communiy. One race.

About Atlanta

Learn more about the host city, Atlanta.

Atlanta is the vanguard of the New South, with the charm and elegance of the Old. It's a city that balances southern traditions with sleek modernism, and southern hospitality with three skylines and the world’s busiest airport. It's a city that has been burnt to the ground and built back up; seen the horrors of war; felt the pain of droughts and floods; and given birth to Martin Luther King, Jr., the greatest figure of the civil rights movement. Atlanta is the capital of the state of Georgia.
