BlazeSports Run, Roll and Row 5K

and Fun Run

BlazeSports is pleased to present our 3rd Annual Run, Roll & Row 5K. The event is inclusive of all abilities and includes an adaptive division and will take place both in person and virtually.

BlazeSports, the legacy of the 1996 Atlanta Paralympic Games, is one of the very few organizations in Metro Atlanta providing access to adaptive sports and recreation for children, youth and veterans with disabilities for nearly 25 years. The purpose of this 5K is to raise awareness of BlazeSports programs and services. All proceeds will be used to support youth & veteran adaptive sport programs, training & education activities, youth leadership and development and other athlete support.
