About this race
Cherokee Recreation and Parks will host the 3rd Annual Live Like Laken 5K Run/Walk on October 24, 2026, at Hobgood Park in Woodstock, GA. The purpose of this 5K is to raise money for The Laken Hope Foundation, Inc., which supports existing organizations that promote safety awareness for women, aid, and tuition assistance for nursing students and children’s healthcare. These were all causes that Laken felt strongly about, and she held them near and dear to her heart. Additional information regarding the specific foundations supported and money raised can be found here .
Laken Riley was a student at Augusta University after attending UGA, where she was studying to become a nurse. Laken’s untimely death was avoidable and tragic. The foundation's ultimate goal is to promote safety awareness and prepare women if they are ever in danger. We will be handing out safety products and providing information centered around programs that champion safety awareness. Thank you, everyone, for your continued love and support. Together we can all Keep Hope Alive!
The Live Like Laken 5K is a certified race for The Northside Hospital Peachtree Road Race.
Dogs are welcome as long as they are on a leash.
To be guaranteed a T-shirt, please register by October 8th!!
