Lace up your sneakers.

The Atlanta Public Schools Rocks and Runs 5K is returning for the second year.

The district-organized race was first held last year as part of the National Teacher Appreciation Week celebration.

The route takes runners through the city’s West End near the south side of the Beltline trail.

This year’s race will begin at 8:15 a.m. on May 2 at Brown Middle School, 765 Peeples St. SW.

In addition to the run, children ages 4 to 11 can participate in a fun run.

Registration for the event is now open at atlantapublicschools.us/APSRocksAndRuns. Teachers and instructional paraprofessionals can participate for free. The cost for others who register before Feb. 29 is $25. Advance registration for students is $10.
