The SagerStrong Fun Run is a fun, but challenging course, designed for the baseball enthusiast, and will take participants on a journey inside and throughout Truist Park –around the main concourse, through the maze of ramps, to different levels of the stadium -- as they finish strong inside Truist Park and celebrate with the Braves World Champions Trophy on the field!

The SagerStrong 3K Stadium Fun Run is a family-friendly event – designed with all ages in mind - there will be a 3K run, walk, and a Kids Dash (ages 7 & under) offered both in person and virtually. Gates Open at 6:30 AM; runners begin the 3K Fun Run at 8:00 AM, walkers at 8:20 AM, with the Dash to follow. Our younger Dash participants will receive a t-shirt for running the event. In addition to a fun run through the ballpark – the only run of its kind contained entirely within Truist Park -- our fun run participants will receive a t-shirt, as well as an Atlanta Braves game ticket to the Mets vs Braves game on Sunday, October 2nd at 1:30PM game. Discounted tickets available for family and friends to join you at the game, as well. The fun run event will end with a staggered party in TENT TOWN – a fun, interactive area of vendors and games in the space outside the Left Field gate, created just for participants of this event, in waves, with food options, music and prizes after giving your best effort to run #SagerStrong.

About the SAGERSTRONG Foundation

The SAGERSTRONG Foundation was founded in 2016 by former Hall of Fame and two-time Emmy Award Sports Reporter Craig Sager and his wife Stacy, to fund and support blood cancer research and trials, so that one day, leukemia patients and their families will not have to go through the battle they endured. The Foundation has raised over 2.4 million dollars to help fund blood cancer research, including two clinical trials at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. These important trials support Dr. Naveen Pemmaraju's (Craig's doctor) research with current Myelofibrosis patients and patients with Advanced Myeloproliferative Neoplasms. For more information on these trials, research, the #SagerStrong Foundation and events, or to make a donation to support this important work, please visit sagerstrongfoundation.org .
