About the Dyslexia Dash 2026
The course runs through the parking lots and roads around Perimeter Mall, starting near a department store entrance. From there it heads out onto the surrounding surface streets before looping back to where it began. The route is mostly flat, paved, and open, with few surprises beyond the turns at each intersection.
Bibs can be picked up the evening before at Road Runner Sports on Johnson Ferry Road, inside Merchant Walk Mall. Race-morning pickup is also available at a solutions table near the start. The post-race area has food and drink vendors, face painting, a kids activity zone, and sponsor booths spread around the finish.
