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.

Join us in 2013 for the 20th Annual Harris Jacobs Dream Run! Sunday, May 5, 2013 7:30 am - Half-Mile Agility Fun Run/Walk (Ages 12 and Under) 8:00 am - 5K Road Race/Walk

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.
