Our Story

Starting from scratch but with an intense desire to create an event for the community to rally behind, The Rotary Club of Dunwoody developed and launched RunDunwoody – Rotary Race to Serve. The vision is simple: create an event enhancing a Club-Community partnership to reach around the corner and around the world to help improve people’s lives, and then grow the event and partnership into a philanthropic and service Powerhouse.

To establish a foundation for that vision was no small task, but the results of RunDunwoody 2010 bear witness to that vision. RunDunwoody 2010 drew 450 runners from such far flung places as Acworth, Covington, and Savannah. More than 100 volunteers from across the community were assembled. Under the Club’s direction, a gorgeous October morning witnessed execution of an event drawing rave after rave from participants and sponsors. The morning was more than a race. Accompanying it was a Family Festival of interactive entertainment and education. In the process, the Club raised more than $30,000 used to promote and enhance public safety in the community.

Of great significance for future growth, RunDunwoody 2010 brought together in support a collection of the community’s premier players – City and County government, including the City of Dunwoody Police Department and DeKalb County Fire and Rescue; the Dunwoody Chamber of Commerce; the Dunwoody Convention and Visitors Bureau; the Perimeter Center Improvement District; the Dunwoody Homeowners Association; and the community’s local news source, The Dunwoody Crier. An outstanding collection of sponsors, large and small, was assembled in support of the event. Our sponsors committed to support the effort without benefit of seeing a final product. Just knowing who we are, what we do, and what we can do was enough!
We invite you to join us in our journey to greatness.
