Move for Grady 2026: Fueling Life-Saving Healthcare for Everyone

April 25th, 2026, thousands of Atlantans will lace up their sneakers and head to Georgia State’s Center Parc Stadium (formerly Turner Field) to ride, run, and walk—not just to cross a finish line, but to move our community closer to something bigger: Access. Equity. And life-saving healthcare for everyone.
Now in our second year supporting Move For Grady, we’re proud to stand alongside a community that shows up for each other in motion. Move For Grady is one of the most impactful fundraising events in Atlanta where you can participate by running, walking or even cycling. Move for Grady is an Atlanta community event with a goal to raise critical funds for Grady Hospital, Atlanta’s only Level 1 trauma center. Every dollar raised helps ensure that every Atlantan, no matter their background or income, can receive the care they need
Why Move for Grady Matters
Grady Hospital is where our community turns during its most critical moments. It’s home to nationally recognized stroke, burn, cancer, and HIV/AIDS centers, and it is also a top-tier training ground for future healthcare leaders. But more than that, the Grady Health System is a symbol of what healthcare should be: compassionate, accessible, and available to everyone. Not just a few.
As Grady Health Foundation President Joselyn Baker shared in a recent AJC article: “Events like Move For Grady help us make an even bigger difference by ensuring access to care... and engaging our community in supporting one of Atlanta’s most important civic institutions.”
That mission couldn’t be more aligned with ours, because access to health should not be complicated or out of reach. For the past 30 years, at Arden’s Garden, we have focused on making wellness feel more accessible, one juice, one smoothie, and one better choice at a time. That is why we are not just showing up for Move For Grady, we are moving, walking, riding, and cheering right alongside you.
And the stories fueling this movement are powerful. Meet Brandon Todd and Jason Russell, and explore more on Grady’s Instagram. These are the reasons behind it all, building a stronger, more connected Atlanta.
Where you’ll find us on race day
Right where the energy is: at the finish line after-party, beside the Hank Aaron statue! Whether you’re running, walking, riding, or cheering, we’ll be there with something to keep you going: a lineup of cold-pressed juice shots, including our fan-favorite energy shots, perfect for that post-race revival.
Here’s what we’re pouring:
A bold blend of hibiscus, jalapeño, and green tea extract. Spicy, refreshing, and exactly the kind of wake-up call you want after a morning run.
A tropical blend of passion fruit, pineapple, and sea moss gel packed with naturally occurring minerals to support hydration, energy, and recovery.
We’ll also be handing out free smoothie or juice cards (aka your excuse to visit us again soon). With locations just minutes from the stadium, including Sylvan Rd, Main Street, Kirkwood, Little 5 Points, and Piedmont Park, you’re never far from your next feel-good stop.
Keep the Momentum Going
And if you’re not ready to slow down after race day, we’re keeping things moving. We’re teaming up with Big Peach Running Co. this May for a Morning Run Series—another way to stay connected, stay active, and keep showing up for yourself and your community. Looking to refuel after a run? Atlanta's vegan cafes and restaurants offer plenty of plant-based options to keep your momentum going.
As the exclusive specialty running retail partner for Move For Grady, Big Peach has helped bring this event to life, from hosting packet pick-ups across Atlanta to supporting runners with gear and community runs. Consider this your sign to keep the run (and the good energy) going. Sign up here!
Come Say Hey
You’ll also see our CEO, Leslie Zinn, out there, moving right alongside the Atlanta community. Leslie describes our commitment thus: “This is our second year supporting and running in Move for Grady, and I couldn’t be more excited to show up on race day. The mission behind this event, strengthening Atlanta’s health care system, supporting economic stability, and helping create a vibrant quality of life for our community, really resonates with me. At Arden’s Garden, our mission has always been simple: Good Health for All. I may not be a Grady baby, but I am an Atlantan who deeply appreciates the role Grady plays in keeping our community healthy.”
Good Health For All Starts Here
What starts here does not end at the finish line. It carries into the everyday choices we make for ourselves and our community. Come find us after the race. Let’s keep moving toward a stronger, healthier Atlanta together.
