Event Description
Join us for our inaugural Montford Point Marine ATL 5k. Montford Point was the first training base for African-American Marines. The segregated training ground existed from 1942 to 1949. In 2010, the US Senate designated August 26 as Montford Point Marines Day in honor of those Marines who displayed immense courage through times of prejudice and segregation because of their unconditional dedication to contribute to the betterment of their country.
