On Saturday morning, the Falcons, Mothers Against Drunk Driving and the Atlanta Track Club held the 2016 Rise Up and Run 5K/Walk Like MADD, presented by Northside Hospital. The event consists of a 5K run/walk, a one mile fun run and a 50-meter dash.
The 5K track began at International Boulevard next to Falcons Landing, continued through the streets of Downtown Atlanta, through the Falcons’ player tunnel and finished on the 50-yard-line of the Georgia Dome.
All proceeds went to MADD, “the nation’s largest nonprofit working to protect families from drunk driving, drugged driving and underage drinking.
