25th Annual Harris Jacobs Dream Run/Walk
Family Fit & Fun Fair
Sunday, May 6, 2018 – 8:00 am


The Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta invites the community to run or walk in its family-friendly 25th Annual Harris Jacobs Dream Run (HJDR) 5K road race on Sunday, May 6 at 8:00 am. The race begins and ends at the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta’s (MJCCA) Zaban Park campus (5342 Tilly Mill Road, Dunwoody, 30338). The Family Fit & Fun Fair immediately follows the race.

The Harris Jacobs Dream Run (HJDR) was created 25 years ago to serve our community with a fun, active, and family-friendly event that honors the memory of Harris Jacobs, a past president of the MJCCA and influential member of the Atlanta Jewish community.

The popular community event features:
  • 8:00 am - 5K Road Race/Walk (follows a certified, family-friendly course through Dunwoody neighborhoods.)
  • Come for the run, stay for the fun! Post-race activities include: the Family Fit & Fun Fair, featuring the Atlanta Hawks Flight Crew, rock climbing wall, face painting, complimentary massages, and more!
  • The HJDR course is a 2019 Peachtree Road Race qualifier (allowing runners to use their time to qualify for a start wave in the 2019 Road Race) and all participants will be chip-timed. Participants will receive a high-performance t-shirt.
Proceeds of the HJDR support the MJCCA’s Blonder Family Department for Special Needs, a unique and welcoming program for individuals of all backgrounds and abilities to socialize, learn, grow, and deepen their connections to one another and the community.

“I encourage runners and walkers of all experience levels to come out and enjoy the Harris Jacobs Dream Run,” said Kitty. “It is certainly a tribute to my Harris, but also a way for friends and family members to come together and race or walk through beautiful neighborhoods, ending up at our MJCCA.”

Race/Walk Fees    Adult: $30, $35 on Race Day / Children under 12: $15
