1st Annual Old Fourth Ward 5K

The O4W 5K is a run/walk through the streets of the historic Old Fourth Ward benefitting Hope-Hill Elementary, the traditional K-5 public school serving the O4W. Over 90% of the students qualify for free or reduced school lunches, and, as of Nov. 2015, more than 10% of the students are homeless. The race starts across the street from Ponce City Market and runs throughout the O4W including Historic Fourth Ward Park and the MLK, Jr. Historic District.

**Peachtree Qualifier / USATF Certified

The event will be held rain or shine. No refunds will be issued for inclement weather.

• Who: The Hope-Hill Foundation is directed by a team of volunteer community members to supply additional resources to the school to help provide these children with the education necessary to overcome these obstacles. The Foundation assists Hope-Hill by subsidizing after-school tutorials where students can get the extra academic assistance they need to prepare for middle school. Funds are used to pay teachers as well as to provide bus transportation home after normal school hours. We leverage our financial subsidy with volunteers who can assist the teachers at the tutorials and thereby help more students. Last year, thanks to the leadership of Principal Maureen Wheeler and her dedicated teachers and staff, Hope-Hill was the most improved school in the entire Atlanta Public Schools district.
