Atlanta Caribbean 5K Powder Run - Atlanta, Georgia - Running

About The Atlanta Caribbean 5K Powder Run

The Atlanta Caribbean 5K Powder Run is a Running race in Atlanta, Georgia consisting of a 5K.

The Annual Atlanta Caribbean 5k Powder Run/Walk is the very first of it's kind! With a little Caribbean twist, we are walking to support dialysis and other treatment for U.S Virgin Islanders. In September of 2017, the U.S. Virgin Islands was hit by two catastrophic hurricanes, Irma and Maria, sending over 700 medical evacuees to the metro Atlanta area and surrounding states and cities. Over 90% were 100% dependent on dialysis treatment and housed for over 8 months right here in Atlanta. We walk for the Virgin Islanders that did not make it through this transition. We walk to support our medical facilities on theKeep Reading island. We walk to support those displaced families that are housed right here in Atlanta that may never return to the Virgin Islands because we do NOT have the skilled nursing facilities on the island to support their care. As we walk we will celebrate the resiliency of Virgin Islanders! Walk with us!
