This year’s Run with Maud Virtual 5K invites participants to honor Ahmaud Arbery’s legacy by running or walking miles from anywhere in the world.
Those in the Atlanta area are welcome to join Wanda Cooper-Jones, Ahmaud’s mother, on the Westside Trail of the Atlanta Beltline as she completes her own Run with Maud Virtual 5K. Please note this is a self-supported run, so participants should bring their own water and nutrition.
After the run, Cooper-Jones and the Ahmaud Arbery Foundation will gather at Lee + White for music, remarks, and interactive activities to honor Maud.
This event is open to the public and media.
