We showed up.
Atlanta ran.
153 runners took the Westside BeltLine for Atlanta's first tech 5K. The race is the proof. The Body of Tech is the reason.
The Tech Race 2026 — In the Books.
One start line. 3.1 miles through the Westside BeltLine tunnel. A finish line at the Great Lawn, and a community that found out what it looks like to move together.
The morning, in frames.

You made the first mile possible.
"Finish lines change you. That is the whole idea — and 153 people proved it in one morning."
The Data Behind What's Next.
Year one cleared its break-even in a first-year market with no history to sell against. Here is what a year-two partner is buying into.
Community reach
Combined social following and email list across The Tech Race and The Body of Tech.
Figures pending — final numbers to be added.
Who is in the room
Engineers, product and marketing operators, founders, and students — plus the run-club community that turned out alongside them.
AI Upskilling Series
The flagship next activation: workforce-development curriculum built for the people already in the tech ecosystem and the ones headed into it.
The race was the start line.
The AI Upskilling Series is next, with conference appearances and year two of the race behind it. Dates land soon — the work does not wait on them.
What we're building next.
Wellness, innovation, community, opportunity — put into practice. Each of these is live work, not a wish list. RSVP links go up as dates lock.
AI Upskilling Series
Workforce-development curriculum for the tech ecosystem — practical AI skills, taught for the people doing the work. The flagship next activation.
The Body of Tech on Stage
Conference and speaking appearances across Atlanta and beyond, bringing the wellness-as-infrastructure case to the rooms where budgets get set.
The Tech Race 2027
Same city, bigger field. Year one cleared break-even and set the standard; year two scales it. Date announcement to come.
More coming
This grid scales — the next program drops in here without a rebuild.
Powered by innovation. Run by community.
We're building the nation's healthiest and most connected technology workforce — combining wellness, innovation, community, and opportunity into one scalable model, starting in Atlanta. The Tech Race is where it starts. It isn't where it ends.
A registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit
The founding board brings over 50 years combined in tech — across engineering, product, marketing, operations, community building, and driving outsized impact for Fortune 500 companies.
Four pillars. One body.
Wellness
Physical, mental, and emotional health as infrastructure — not a perk. The most innovative people perform at their highest when they are whole.
Innovation
Technology is a mindset. A way of solving problems, building systems, and creating futures that didn't exist before. That's exactly what The Tech Race is.
Community
The strongest movements are built in community. Not through networking — through showing up together, moving together, and investing in each other.
Opportunity
Educational access, workforce development, scholarships, and philanthropic investment. Finishing something hard should open doors — for you and for the person coming behind you.
The Tech Race is the proof of concept — Atlanta's 5K that connects the tech ecosystem, builds community, and generates resources for scholarships and workforce development. The Body of Tech is what makes it matter past the finish.
Four ways in.
The Body of Tech is a Georgia 501(c)(3). Partnership is a tax-deductible investment in scholarships, workforce development, and the health of Atlanta's tech workforce — with brand visibility in front of the people building it.
Pick the pillar that fits your budget line.
Sponsor the movement
Title and zone sponsorship of the race and wellness activations — start line, finish line, Tech Village. Your brand on the day people show up for their own health.
Back the curriculum
Underwrite the AI Upskilling Series or bring your engineers in to teach it. Product, platform, and in-kind technology support all land here.
Bring your people
Team entries, volunteer crews on race day, and employee-engagement blocks that give your staff something to train for together.
Fund the doors
Scholarship and workforce-development funding — the dollars that turn a finish line into a career pathway for the person coming behind you.
