Lights on Afterschool 5K

Lights on Afterschool 5K & Fun Run is a community fundraiser in Macon, Georgia, held at Amerson River Park. The event features a 5K run/walk and a 1-mile Fun Run for children ages 11 and under. Proceeds support Next Level Community Development Center’s free afterschool and summer programs, funding high-quality academic instruction, youth development initiatives, and college- and career-readiness services for students at or below 150% of the poverty level.

A signature run that highlights the value of out-of-school time programming, the event offers a t-shirt with early 5K registration, while Fun Run participants receive a medal, and a family-friendly atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
