_ The 8th Annual March For Meals 5K and Virtual 5K:
The Athens Community Council on Aging is partnering with the national March for Meals campaign by pledging to end senior hunger by 2020. Please join us for the 5K Run/Walk to help end senior hunger in Athens and to support the local Meals on Wheels program at ACCA!
Virtual Race Added: NO BLACK BAG POINTS FOR THE VIRTUAL RACES. By popular demand, you can run a virtual 5K this year. Run at your house, on a treadmill, in the park, and at your convenience any time before March 24, 2018. Virtual racers won’t receive overall awards or be placed in the results, but you will receive a bib number and t-shirt in the mail if signed up for that category. Please share your virtual race pictures with us with the hashtag #m4m2018.
