Race for Rest Presented by Monday Night Brewing

Location

Monday Night Garage | Atlanta, GA

Join us for The Furniture Bank of Metro Atlanta's 8th annual Race for Rest in partnership with Monday Night Brewing. Yes, there will be beer!
The Furniture Bank, a 501(c)3, was founded in 1988 in response to the lack of furniture for families moving out of homeless shelters. Today, the Furniture Bank recycles gently-used furniture by collecting it from the community and giving it to individuals and families moving out of homelessness and fleeing domestic violence, as well as countless others struggling to make ends meet. Furniture is essential to a person's physical and emotional well-being. The Furniture Bank provides beds for sleeping, tables for sharing meals, and couches for relaxing.
We turn houses into homes.

WHY SHOULD YOU RUN IN THE RACE FOR REST 5K?
1. If you register for the 5k by October 15, you are guaranteed a super cool free t-shirt
2. Every 5k participant (21 and over, of course) will receive a FREE beer and mini bloody mary from ASW Distillery. Plus, all runners get coffee from Batdorf & Bronson Coffee Roasters!
3. Our 5k is a chipped Peachtree qualifier that runs along the Beltline
4. We'll have an official 5k after-party at the Garage with live music
5. Because everyone deserves a place to lay their head

WHERE IS THIS HAPPENING?
The 5k begins and ends at Monday Night Brewing's Garage location! Parking is free and the location is Marta accessible (yeah, public transportation!)

WHEN SHOULD YOU BE THERE?
The race starts at 9am on October 23. Come ready to run (or walk) and support Atlanta families in need! All funds raised will support Furniture Bank programs. On-site registration will be available on race day!
