Harris Jacobs Dream Run

Created more than 20 years ago, The Harris Jacobs Dream Run serves our community by providing a fun, active & family-friendly event that honors the memory of Harris Jacobs- an influential leader and past president of the MJCCA. It is the mission of the Harris Jacobs Dream Run to provide, through scholarships, the opportunity for EVERY child to participate in our sports programs and activities.

Both the Fun Run/Walk and the 5K Road Race begin and end at Zaban Park and follow a course through family-friendly Dunwoody neighborhoods. 

Highlights from 2013

• AJC Peachtree Road Race Qualifier - Want to start near the front of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Peachtree Road Race in 2014? Run our race- now a certified course- and use your time to qualify for a start wave. The quicker your qualifying time, the closer to the front you start.
• Chip-Timing – All 5K runners will be chip-timed to ensure that your event is as successful as possible by providing professional, accurate timing results and excellent customer service.
• NEW! Packet Pick-Up – The MJCCA has teamed up with the Perimeter Pointe Sports Authority to offer all pre-registered runners early packet pick-up. Two convenient dates are available:
• May 2nd (3-8 pm)
• May 3rd (10 am-2 pm)
• Half-Mile Agility Fun Run (Ages 12 and Under) - Cheer from the sidelines as your children dodge cones, hop, crawl under, run, skip, and crawl over cool stuff in our obstacle course by the CIA lake. All Agility Fun Run finishers receive microfiber high-performance youth shirts.
• All pre-registered 5K runners are guaranteed one microfiber high-performance Harris Jacobs Dream Run short sleeve t-shirt in their requested size and cut (women’s or men’s). We can’t guarantee size or cut for Race-day runners. Register now and get the shirt you want!
