About the Race
A fast, smooth run through East Cobb streets. Tech race shirts for every runner. Bounce houses, food, fluids, and an awards ceremony after the finish line. The race is in its 21st year, hosted by the Rotary Club of East Cobb at the McCleskey East Cobb YMCA.
Where the Funds Go
The Rotary Club of East Cobb has donated more than $900,000 from Dog Days race proceeds to local and international service projects through the years. Your registration is a direct contribution to that work, and the Rotary Club's reach extends beyond East Cobb to clean-water projects, scholarships, and disaster response globally.
