70307 event 1317143106 1475891754 <![CDATA[The Dream Mile 5K]]> The Dream Mile, started by Tech students and now in its 13th year, is one of a series of Dream Mile races that take place across the country. The Atlanta race benefits Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and Vibha, a nonprofit that supports education and health programs in the U.S. and India. Last year, the local race had its highest participation to date, with 1,400 runners, and raised more than $100,000.

Music and carnival-style games will be available after the race, and all race participants receive a t-shirt, chip timing and refreshments.

The Dream Mile begins at the Biotechnology Quad on Ferst Drive and loops through the interior streets of campus; a full race map is available at The Dream Mile’s website. For those who may not be interested in the walk/run aspect of the event, they may still participate in a pledge drive for the race beneficiaries.

The 2011 Dream Mile begins at 7 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 1; registration is $25 until Sept. 25, and $30 until the day of the race. To register, visit www.thedreammile.org/atlanta and register through Active.com.
