Lace up your running shoes and make every step count! Join us for Junior Achievement's 13th Annual Race to Achieve 5K and 1-Mile Fun Walk, a community event that brings together runners, walkers, families, businesses, and supporters to invest in the future of local students.
Every registration helps support Junior Achievement of the Ocoee Region, providing life-changing educational programs that prepare young people for success in school, work, and life. Through hands-on experiences led by caring volunteers, Junior Achievement equips students with essential skills in financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship—helping them build confidence, make informed decisions, and discover their potential.
Funds raised through this event directly support programs serving students throughout Bradley, McMinn, Meigs, Monroe, and Polk Counties. Each year, Junior Achievement reaches thousands of students with engaging classroom experiences that connect education to real-world opportunities. Whether students are learning how to manage a budget, explore career pathways, prepare for job interviews, or understand what it takes to start and run a business, JA programs inspire them to dream big and achieve more.
Whether you're a competitive runner aiming for a personal best, a casual walker enjoying time with family and friends, or a business looking to support a great cause, there's a place for everyone at the Race to Achieve. Participants of all ages and fitness levels are encouraged to join us for a morning filled with community spirit, healthy activity, and the opportunity to make a lasting impact on the next generation.
By participating, you are helping ensure that local students have access to innovative educational experiences that empower them to:
• Build strong money management skills.
• Develop workplace readiness and leadership abilities.
• Explore career opportunities.
• Foster an entrepreneurial mindset.
• Gain the confidence to pursue their goals and build brighter futures.
Together, we can inspire tomorrow—one step at a time.
Register today, invite your family and friends, and help us continue making a difference in the lives of students across the Ocoee Region. We look forward to seeing you at the starting line for the 13th Annual JA Race to Achieve 5K & 1-Mile Fun Walk!
