Upcoming Dunwoody Road Race and Festival Promises Family Fun

Runners, take to the starting line; the annual RunDunwoody 5K race and 1 Mile Fun Run is fast approaching, and attendees will get the opportunity to support the Dunwoody community while also getting in some physical activity.

Scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 19, from 7 to 10 a.m., the 2014 RunDunwoody 5K Road Race, 1 Mile Fun Run, Tot Trot and Family Festival features a qualifying 5K course for the Peachtree Road Race.

Runners will begin and end the 5K in the Perimeter Mall parking lot near Dillard’s. Non-runners can participate in the event, too, by serving as Race Day volunteers or simply enjoying the festival.

Organized by The Rotary Club of Dunwoody, RunDunwoody raises money that advances the Club’s service initiatives on community education, safety, and health.

Proceeds from previous RunDunwoody races have paid for student scholarships to local colleges, provided equipment for the community’s police and fire departments, and helped struggling families in need.

To run, register online by 11:59 p.m. on Oct. 16, mail in a registration form, or register beginning at 7 a.m. on race day. Participation in the 5K costs $30 for advanced registration, and $35 on race day, while the 1-Mile race costs $20 on and before Oct. 19.
