“We look forward to teaming up with the Hawks each season,” said Rich Kenah, CEO of Atlanta Track Club. “Hawks fans are true to Atlanta and true to Running City USA. There’s no better way to get pumped up for the next game than at the Hawks Fast Break 5K presented by Sharecare.”

Atlanta-based digital health company, Sharecare, and the Hawks began their innovative partnership prior to the 2017-18 season as part of the NBA’s Jersey Patch pilot program and simultaneously launched the Sharecare Movement, a multi-platform initiative aimed at making Atlanta one of the healthiest communities and Georgia one of the healthiest states in the country. The innovative partnership was honored with the 2018 NBA Partnership of the Year Award.

“Inspiring a movement of better health across our city and state has always been at the heart of our relationship with the Atlanta Hawks, and the Fast Break 5K presented by Sharecare is a fun family-friendly tradition we look forward to each year,” said Dawn Whaley, president and chief marketing officer of Sharecare. “We are proud to be part of the extended Hawks family and team up with the Atlanta Track Club to further our collective efforts to improve the well-being of our communities.”
