Join the Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta United FC, Atlanta Track Club and Mothers Against Drunk Driving for the 2019 Mercedes-Benz Stadium 5K/Walk Like MADD and be a part of something special. This event offers something for the whole family, runners and walkers alike, including a 5K, Mile and Dash. All participants have the opportunity to finish on the Atlanta Falcons 50-yard line inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium. 100% of the proceeds go to Mothers Against Drunk Driving Georgia.
Walk Like MADD is MADD's signature fundraising event to help us raise both awareness and funds to eliminate drunk driving. Last year, tens of thousands of people in over 80 cities across the nation participated, and together, we raised more than 3 million dollars to provide our programs and services at no cost. With every step taken and each dollar raised, walkers are supporting MADD's lifesaving mission to keep our families and communities safe.
