Mr. Big's Flippin' 5k

Roswell Men's Gymnastics Team is hosting a 5k in honor of Jake on Nov 12th. 

Jake Peter Whatley “Mr. Big” blessed our lives with his presence and his big fun and positive spirit. On June 2, 2021, we tragically lost Jake in a drowning accident  which has left a long impactful impression on each of us. Jake was a gymnast since he was three years old, and was a very talented athlete. As a level 10 gymnasts he competed at regionals in April 2021 and at the USA Gymnastics Developmental Program National Championships in May 2021 (His competition number was 736). He was a member of the Nationally ranked Roswell Gymnastics program.  

We have created the “Mr. Big’s” Flippin’ 5k  which will be held November 12th at Riverside Park in Roswell, GA as a way to continue Jake’s support for the gymnastics community and to honor his memory. Race day Registration starts at 7 am. The Fun Run starts at 8:30 am. The 5k Race/Walk will start promptly at 8 am.
