Road Race for Education 2024

The Road Race for Education is a road race and festival located in the heart of East Atlanta. This event, now in its 44th year, brings together the East Lake Community, East Atlanta Neighbors, and the Muslim community to celebrate independent education. The Road Race for Education was previously named The Mohammed Ali Road Race in honor of the legendary athlete Mohammed Ali; this race symbolizes courage, determination, and community spirit. 

For the first time, we encourage participants to run in spirit with this year’s theme - Bow Ties and Tutus, adding a fun and festive element to this year's race experience.  Best costume contest: $100 Spring Greens Community Cafe gift card to top male/female costumed runners!

Charitable Impact

The Road Race for Education will positively impact the community in the following manner:

The Road Race for Education is a vibrant celebration that transcends boundaries, thanks to the proactive outreach efforts from the local Islamic community. Embracing diversity in all forms, this event brings together individuals of various cultural backgrounds, ages, and beliefs, creating a tapestry of unity within East Lake and East Atlanta. From young children to seasoned adults, participants of all ages eagerly join in the festivities, showcasing the inclusive nature of the race and its profound impact on building bridges across generations and communities. Through this inclusive approach, the race promotes community cohesion and fosters a deeper understanding and appreciation of our shared humanity.

The community will be actively engaged in the course planning and volunteer opportunities.

Proceeds from the race directly support the mission of Mohammed Schools of Atlanta, providing crucial funding for educational resources, programs, and scholarships. By investing in independent education, the race helps to ensure that students receive a high-quality, values-based education that prepares them for academic success and future leadership roles.

The Road Race for Education 2024 weekend will include a community-wide service project on Saturday, August 31st, at Mohammed Schools of Atlanta. MSOA Students will lead in designing and organizing this service project. 

Participants will have an opportunity to contribute directly to Mohammed Schools of Atlanta via RunSignUp.
