Chamblee Bulldog Dash 5K

Chamblee Bulldog Dash 5K is a road race in Chamblee, Georgia, on March 6, 2027, with one distance on the schedule: a 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 8:00 a.m. The Bulldog name ties it to the local school community, and the early start keeps the whole morning free once you have finished.

An 8:00 a.m. gun in early March means cool air in the Atlanta suburbs, which is favorable for racing 3.1 miles hard. If a fast time is the goal, warm up for at least ten minutes beforehand, since a cold start is the most common reason for a slow opening mile. If you are running your first 5K instead, aim for a pace you could hold in conversation for the first half and let yourself pick it up over the last mile. Either way, a month of consistent short runs is preparation enough.
