About this race
One of the most popular races in Atlanta, Romp and Stomp 5k kicks off the Cabbagetown Chomp and Stomp Chili Cookoff and Bluegrass Festival. This race features a fast, flat course through historic Cabbagetown that is great for first timers or those chasing a PR. All participants receive an awesome T-shirt and a free chili tasting spoon for the Chomp and Stomp Chili and Bluegrass Festival later that day.
Interested in volunteering before, during, or after the race? Bonus: earn a free race entry, swag, and chili spoon. Sign up here!
Chomp & Stomp supports our park improvements for everyone to enjoy. Thank you for your help! Proceeds from our chili cook-off and the Romp 5k are used to create a safe and welcoming environment for all visitors.
The mission of Cabbagetown Initiative 501c3 is: To Energize Public Spaces! Since 2003, we've raised funds to build playgrounds, pavilions, and picnic areas. Festival proceeds also maintain the Cabbagetown Community Center, Esther Peachy Park, our community garden, and the famous mural walk on Wylie Street - "Forward, Warrior!!"
We couldn't have built any of this without y'all! If you hear our neighbors cheering from the sidelines, it's because runners are some of our strongest supporters. The community appreciates your stamina and values your dedication. Keen folks are invited to learn more about our organization at cabbagetown.com, and enthusiastic Rompers are always welcome to make an additional donation to make a bigger impact in the places people gather freely for fun & fellowship.
You can show the Cabbagetown Initiative some extra love by shopping our Vintage 5K Romp Collection!
