From the organizer
The annual Dash at Dawn 5k & Fun Run is officially back, and we want YOU on the starting line! Whether you’re chasing a personal best or just looking for a morning run with a mission, this is the race to be at! ☀️🏃♀️
Dash at Dawn was inspired by the 20-year legacy of our inaugural PE teacher, Coach Dawn. She saw running not just as a sport, but as an equalizer that bridges cultures and backgrounds in our community. We lace up to celebrate that spirit of inclusion!
All proceeds from the race benefit International Community School. ICS is the only IB school in Georgia designed to educate refugee, immigrant, and local students together in a community dedicated to mutual learning.
This is a USATF certified race course, and your results will be professionally timed. Dash at Dawn is a Peachtree Road Race Qualifier.
