Event Description

Garrison Mill Elementary School’s PTA and Foundation are joining forces to bring the Greyhound Gallop race and invite you to support our school through this popular tradition! All proceeds from the race will go towards capital improvements at Garrison Mill Elementary School. Our goal is to install a shade structure over the 1-3rd grade playground. Estimated cost is $45,000. 

Sprint gallopers, slow trotters, and families are all welcome to run/walk 1K or 5K. 

5K is an AJC Peachtree Road Race Qualifying Event!
