Details and Registration

It's Dyslexia Awareness Month and time for you to sign up for the Dyslexia Dash! The funds raised from the Dyslexia Dash allow our Branch to provide scholarships and grants for teacher training and outreach initiatives. 


There are lots of ways you can participate in the 2022 Dyslexia Dash:


Runner/Walker (Fast or Slow! In-person or Virtual!)

https://runsignup.com/Race/GA/Atlanta/DyslexiaDash

The in-person Dyslexia Dash has a 5K fun run/walk. The first three finishers of each age category win the prized Dyslexia Dash medal! In addition, there is a 1-mile fun run/walk for children under 10 years of age or under. Parents are welcome to join their children in this race.


Along with the fun of running with your family and/or friends, there also will be a kids’ fun zone, rock painting, a DJ, sponsor tables, information booths (IDA-GA, RLGA, DDGA), a 50/50 draw -- and NEW THIS YEAR, a no-cost chance for teachers to win prizes!


Virtual racers choose their own course and can post their times. As soon as you register, you can run the race and post your time anytime through October 22, 2022.


All registrants will receive the 2022 Dyslexia Dash t-shirt and a race bag. 


Volunteer

Are you interested in volunteering at check-in or the water station? How about the kids' area? Want to get the thrill of handing out the medals to the winners or the t-shirts to runners after the race? Do you love taking photos? Do you enjoy painting? Do you have a loud voice and upbeat nature? Do you have some pep in your step to help us with set up and clean up? We have many jobs and likely have the perfect job for YOU!


Donor/Fundraiser
