Fun Run for the Community, Everlasting Impact for Inclusion

Spark 5K 2025 with The Kyle Pease Foundation

On the evening of May 8, 2025, nearly 700 individuals gathered in Piedmont Park for the Spark 5K—a high-energy event hosted by Roark Capital and directed by The Kyle Pease Foundation (KPF). What began as a fun community run quickly transformed into a powerful celebration of inclusion, movement, and connection.

As the sun set over the Atlanta skyline, athletes of all abilities took to the course. More than 500 participants crossed the finish line, many alongside KPF’s 25 Athletes—filling the park with cheers, laughter, and inspiring moments.

All race proceeds will benefit two incredible organizations: The Kyle Pease Foundation, which creates opportunities for inclusion through sports for athletes with disabilities, and Malcolm Mitchell’s Share the Magic Foundation, which promotes literacy and inspires a love of reading among underserved youth.

Thank you to Roark Capital, the passionate volunteers, and every participant who helped make the Spark 5K more than a race—it was a movement toward a more inclusive and empowered future.
