Dash At Dawn: International Community School 5K & Fun Run

The annual Dash at Dawn 5k & Fun Run is officially back, and we want YOU on the starting line! Whether you’re chasing a personal best or just looking for a morning run with a mission, this is the race to be at! ☀️🏃‍♀️

Dash at Dawn was inspired by the 20-year legacy of our inaugural PE teacher, Coach Dawn. She saw running not just as a sport, but as an equalizer that bridges cultures and backgrounds in our community. We lace up to celebrate that spirit of inclusion!

All proceeds from the race benefit International Community School. ICS is the only IB school in Georgia designed to educate refugee, immigrant, and local students together in a community dedicated to mutual learning.

This is a USATF certified race course, and your results will be professionally timed. Dash at Dawn is a Peachtree Road Race Qualifier.

Bike Drive

Our friends at Global Spokes, Inc. will be joining us on race day to collect bike donations. As a 501(c)(3) organization, they specialize in refurbishing donated bikes and gifting them to local refugees and unhoused individuals in DeKalb County. If you have any old bikes (children or adult sizes) please bring them to the 5K event. They will be on-site to collect bike donations.
