RunDunwoody

Dunwoody Rotarians propelled the club to the Winner's Circle Sunday, October 16, as the Rotary Club of Dunwoody welcomed runners, spouses, and guests to the 7th annual RunDunwoody - Rotary Race to Serve. RunDunwoody is the Rotary Club of Dunwoody's signature community event in which RCD engages others (runners, spouses, community partners and guests) in Rotary Service. RunDunwoody is first an opportunity for Dunwoody Rotarians to increase Rotary awareness within the community (as defined by the reach of our members) and engage others in Rotary's mission of Service Above Self. It is also a focal point for fostering Rotarian relationships among members and with runners, sponsors, community partners, and the business community. Finally, RunDunwoody is a source of funds to help RCD to extend its service reach locally and globally, and a source of pride for all RCD members. Each leadership participant shares responsibility for making this vision a reality.

Some highlights from this picture perfect fall morning include:

• Enthusiastic feedback from runners, sponsors and guests (800+ participants, 450+ runners) about the venue, cool t-shirts and 5K race route.
• Extensive financial support - $35,000 from 20 area business sponsors and 14 local "Friends of the Race".
• $14,000+ from Runner Registrations. With an approximate $26,000 of expense, the net from this event provided approximately $25,000 for use in support of local and global projects.
• Tot Trot and Kids Zone
• Cool new t-shirts and our favorite DJ Chris Campbell... Good Food...Winning Smiles and lots of fun.

All activities are focused on creating a "best ever" race day experience for all.
