Run Like Hell 5k at Oakland Cemetery

Join Historic Oakland Foundation for the 19th Annual Run Like Hell 5K!

The largest cemetery run in the country, Run Like Hell is one of Atlanta’s favorite neighborhood 5K fundraisers, with all proceeds going to the restoration and preservation of historic Oakland Cemetery.

The Run Like Hell 5k is an Official Atlanta Journal-Constitution Peachtree Road Race Qualifying Event.

This year’s race returns to Oakland in the Spring for the third year in a row, showcasing the beauty of Oakland’s gardens. Participants are encouraged to “run like hell” while the Oakland grounds are “pushing up daisies”!

This unique evening 5K will take place at Oakland Cemetery on April 4 at 5 PM.

Please plan to arrive at least 30 min before race time to stretch and get ready to run. The race winds through the roadways of the historic cemetery. The keyhole course is entirely paved and gently rolling with soft turns.
