About the Winship 5K

The Winship Win the Fight 5K Run/Walk is a family-friendly event held on the Emory University campus and benefitting cancer research at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University.

In 2017, the seventh annual event raised more than $1 million with over 3,400 participants. To date, the event has raised over $4.3 million in support of cancer research at Winship Cancer Institute. On the day of the event, runners and walkers tackle the Peachtree Road Race qualifying course that starts and ends on the Emory campus and winds its way through the surrounding Druid Hills-area. Teams are encouraged to organize and to take part in the event.

The 8th annual Winship Win the Fight 5K Run/Walk was held on Saturday, October 13, 2018. Check back soon for the 2019 date.

Be a Winship Warrior

Once registration opens, become a Winship Warrior and join us in the Winship Win the Fight 5K Run/Walk! You can create a team or join the Winship 5K as an individual. We invite you to set a $250 minimum fundraising goal and encourage your friends, family and co-workers to join you in making a difference in the fight against cancer.

You can target your tax-deductible donation to any number of Winship cancer funds based on your personal interests.

You do not have to race to raise money for the cause. You can join us in our efforts by registering as a 'Virtual' Warrior. Virtual Warrior registration is for those who want to fundraise and support the Winship 5K even though they are not attending the event.
