Kick Up Your Kilt at the Tartan Trot!
Now is the time to register for what has become a Dunwoody winter tradition: the seventh annual Tartan Trot 5K/10K at St. Luke’s Presbyterian Church! This USATF Peachtree qualifier race on Saturday, February 2nd features kilts, bagpipes, free race photos to registered runners, and even baked goods for the winners! This family-friendly event also includes a one-mile Fun Run AND a Tot Trot. However, the greatest thing about Tartan Trot is what continues to happen long after the finish line has been crossed. Funds raised are used for local, national, and international outreach efforts – such as Family Promise here in Dunwoody, Habitat for Humanity, Stop Hunger Now, Honduras Outreach International, and Mountain T.O.P. in the Appalachians of Tennessee.
New this year: Tartan Trot and MINI are sponsoring a “Fill the MINI” shoe drive in a mission to collect new and gently used athletic shoes for local agencies. Our MINI will be parked at the Dunwoody Tavern on Saturday night, January 12, so toss in some athletic shoes and then come inside for music by the Bruce Jones Band, beginning at 8:30. Also, on Saturday, January 26 from 11:00 – 3:00, visit our parked MINI (more…)

2nd annual family fun run/walk, benefitting Kindred Spirit. Kindred Spirit is a privately funded non-profit home for pregnant teenagers who need a safe place to live during their pregnancy. While living in the home, each young woman continues her education, learns about nutrition for herself and her baby, takes birthing classes, attends parenting classes and/or adoption counseling, attends worship, participates in cooking and exercise classes, experiences cultural and artistic activities, in addition to receiving the individual counsel and guidance needed to structure her life for success once she departs Kindred Spirit.
Submitted by Leianne Messina-Brown: If anyone is looking for a way to work off their “pre-Thanksgiving Turkey”, this is a great 5K benefitting a Dunwoody family. In 2008, Mr. and Mrs. Horne suffered the loss of not only one but two of their sons. Jeffrey succumbed to leukemia at the age of 20 years. Less than five months after losing his brother, their other son Brian died of sudden cardiac arrest & acute respiratory failure (a broken heart) at the age of 19. They attribute the heart failure to the strain put on his body by the bone marrow transplant he gave to help to save his dying brother.
