NEW 5K CELEBRATES SUPERDADS EVERYWHERE
Has your dad always been your hero? Then lace up your running shoes because it’s time for the first annual Father’s Day Superdad 5K. The event is organized by an online community of runners called Moon Joggers, so you’ll be joining people from around the world as they race to honor all the special dads out there. Unlike most races, this event lets you pick your own course, so you can sprint through Memorial Park in Buckhead or around Brookhaven’s Capital City Club—wherever else you want, as long as it adds up to 5K (3.1 miles). And even though Father’s Day is June 21, you just have to finish the race sometime between June 1 and 30. When you do, you simply go online, post your time, and you’ll receive two medals and two decals (one for you and one for your pops) acknowledging your participation. Registration is $29.48, a portion of which goes to a charity called Soles4Souls, which provides new and used shoes to the needy. – Jill Becker
