Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta presents the Harris Jacobs Dream Run on Sunday, May 5, 2013

The Harris Jacobs Dream Run (HJDR) was created 20 years ago to serve our community by providing a fun, active & family-friendly event that honors the memory of Harris Jacobs- an influential leader in the Atlanta community. 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.

  • 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!
