Hunger Walk/Run began in 1984 as a grassroots movement in response to the issue of hunger locally and globally. Back then, it was just a walk, but it was 10 miles long! Over 1,000 walkers raised $30,000. It continued as an all-volunteer effort until 1988 when it became a special project of the Atlanta Community Food Bank. As the event continued to grow through the years, it moved to Turner Field and also invited runners to participate. On March 11, 2012, more than 15,000 people came to the Hunger Walk/Run. Funds are still being collected and tabulated. We will let you know when we have a final count!

The Atlanta Community Food Bank organizes the event, but there are five other benefiting partner organizations that also receive funds: Action Ministries-United Methodists, Episcopal Charities Foundation, The Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta, Lutheran Services of Georgia, and St. Vincent de Paul Society

Walkers and runners of all ages and athletic abilities can participate in the 5K Walk/Run as individuals, families, groups, teams and more. Each participant solicits sponsorship from friends and associates prior to the day of the event. Walkers and runners can arrive anytime after the gates open at 12:00 noon to enjoy the festivities. Prior to step off, there’s a stage show with live music and high energy warm-ups. Volunteers are stationed along the route to provide needed assistance. Atlanta City Police provide traffic control throughout the route as well, and nurses are available for any first-aid needs. We’ll also have live entertainment along the way to cheer on our participants!

Many thanks to all of our sponsors, media sponsors, volunteers, runners and walkers!
