Maynard Jackson High School + King Middle School Jaguar Jog 5k

Same Great Race, New Date!

Join us for the 5th Annual Jag Jog 5K, proudly put on by the MJHS Athletic Boosters and MLK Athletic Boosters, as we kick off another exciting year with a beautiful fall run through one of Atlanta's favorite spots. This year, we're moving the race to October 24, 2026 at 8:00am, giving runners the chance to enjoy crisp autumn temperatures and colorful scenery.

The race will begin and end at Maynard Jackson High School at 8:00am and take participants along the Atlanta BeltLine, offering a fun and scenic course for runners of all experience levels. Whether you're chasing a personal best, jogging with friends, pushing a stroller, or enjoying a morning walk, everyone is welcome! We also offer a Kids Fun Run for children ages 10 and under, making this a great event for the whole family.

Proceeds from the Jaguar Jog directly benefit the MJHS Athletic Boosters and MLK Athletic Boosters, helping support athletic programs, equipment, teams, and student opportunities in both school communities.
