PURPOSE OF ROCKET RUN

To have a blast, create Atlanta's Funkiest Footrace, and support Mary Lin Elementary school. Run for speed or for fun.

COSTUMED RUNNERS COME OUT!

NO COSTUME REQUIRED but there will be a BEST COSTUME prize. Race as Uncle Sam, a martian, Harry Potter, a biker chick, or your favorite Snack Cake. This is Atlanta's Funkiest Footrace. Let your freak flag fly! (remember kids will be watching)

RUNNING CLUB/SCHOOL/CORPORATE CHALLENGE RACE

Prize for LARGEST CHALLENGE TEAM (not by weight but # of runners). Race in your school colors, biz suits, or team costumes. The funkier & more memorable the better. Go big or go home!

CATERPILLAR CRUISE IS NEW

Prize for FASTEST CATERPILLAR (Rules at www.MaryLinFoundation.org). Tether 7 adults (5 kids 8th grade and younger) with no less than 4 feet of material connecting each runner and see how fast you can go - or how much fun you can have with a co-joined running club. Thomas the Train, Chinese Dragon, Barrel of Monkeys, the themes are endless - and there's always your business name.

DON'T RUN? WANT TO CHEER?

We'd love folks to come out to hoot-n-holler for the runners and have some fun. Bring out your bellydancers, jugglers, acoustic musicians, and find a spot on the course to cheer on the racers. The Sideline Follies will have the best seat in the house!
