One of the most popular races in Atlanta, the Romp and Stomp 5k kicks
off the Cabbagetown Chomp and Stomp Chili Cookoff and Bluegrass
Festival. This is the race's 15th running, and features a fast, flat
course through historic Cabbagetown that is great for first timers or
those chasing a PR. All participants receive an awesome LONG-SLEEVED
T-shirt and a free chili tasting spoon for the Chomp and Stomp Chili
and Bluegrass Festival later that day. PLEASE NOTE: If you plan on
walking the race, please sign up in the walker division. This includes
those with strollers and those walking with dogs. The walkers will
start at 7:45, ahead of the runners. The proceeds from the Romp and
Stomp 5k benefit the non-profit organization maintaining the
