Sign up for Dunwoody 5K race to support GPC scholarship
Georgia Perimeter College is recruiting faculty, staff and students for this year’s RunDunwoody 5K race, spearheaded annually by the Rotary Club of Dunwoody.
GPC is a strong supporter of the charity race which raises money to fund Dunwoody area public safety and education initiatives, including an annual scholarship awarded to a Georgia Perimeter allied health student. The college is seeking volunteers and race participants for the Oct. 19 benefit.
“In honor of our 50th anniversary, it is our goal to get 50 members of the GPC community to support this event by joining our team and wearing GPC spirit wear the day of the event,” says Montrese Adger Fuller of the college’s Institutional Advancement department.
The 5K begins at 8 a.m. at Perimeter Mall. It is certified as a qualifying race for the 2015 Peachtree Road Race.
There also will be a 1-mile fun run starting at 9 a.m. and a tot trot at 9:15 a.m.
Participants can register by visiting the RunDunwoody site. When signing up, register as an individual, then select “yes” for the 2014 Dunwoody Team challenge. Choose Georgia Perimeter College from the “Do you want to join Team Challenge – Schools?” drop-down menu.
Registration is $25 until Oct. 9, then $30 until Oct. 18 and $35 on site the day of the race. Contact GPC race coordinators Tina Philpot or Montrese Adger Fuller for more information.
