11th Annual Dashing through the Square 5K Run/Walk
The Dashing through the Square 5K Run/Walk is an annual holiday-themed event held in historic Marietta, Georgia. The course takes participants through the Marietta Square, passing by local shops and historic homes. This event is organized by The PEARL Foundation, Inc., with proceeds supporting community initiatives and youth enrichment programs in Cobb County.
The event offers several participation options:
- 5K Timed
- 5K Untimed
- 5K Virtual
The timed 5K race is a Peachtree Qualifying Race and utilizes electronic chip timing to track runner results. A virtual option is also available, allowing participants to complete a 5 km distance from any location, including streets, parks, or treadmills.
Participants receive a runner's t-shirt, though size availability may be limited for those registering after December 1. All finishers are awarded a commemorative medal. In the timed category, award medals are given to the first and second-place male and female finishers across various age groups, ranging from 17 and under to 80 and older.
The race starts at 50 N Park Square. Parking is available in various lots surrounding the Marietta Square, some of which require payment by credit card. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
