The Rocketshot 5k

The Rocketshot 5K is now a USTAF measured & certified 5k course!

About the race

The RocketShot 5K run is a race that was created for two purposes – to aid in immortalizing Jamie, and to act as a fundraiser for the foundation. The run itself occurs annually in August and is based out of Centennial High School. Registration typically opens in the May before.  The run begins and ends at Centennial High School stadium.  We have musical acts along the race route to keep you going and entertained!!!

All proceeds are used to award youth athletic scholarships , character awards and school improvements in the North Fulton area.  The race includes 5k race with over $500 in Dick’s Sporting Goods Bonus Cash for winners, a Fun Run for the kids (with medals for all participants), live music on the race route, food and refreshments back at the stadium, a silent auction and a raffle.

How the “Rocketshot” was named

Jamie’s Classic RocketShot

BOOM!!!!! This is a picture of Jamie, mid “Rocket Shot”. He was given the nickname based on the velocity of his shot on goal.  Jim Hall, Jamie’s lacrosse coach, said, “his shot made a lot of goalies want to change their careers”.  We replicated the silhouette from this picture and used it on the original 2014 RocketShot 5k shirts as well as all of The Team 8 Jerseys.
