Bring your costume. Bring your shoes. Let's dash.

Race Day - Sunday October 29, 2023

9:00am - Bib and t-shirt pickup at the Lower Manito Park Picnic Shelter.

10:00am - The starting gun sounds to kick off the 5K Race. Dash!

11:00am - The Kids' Fun Run begins. Move those monster toes!

The Fun Run is offered at 1-mile, half-mile, and quarter-mile distances, each ending with candy goodie bags as kids cross the finish line. Grownups are welcome to walk or run next to their children on the entire course.

The 5K Race will be chip timed. Many parents complete the 5K on their own, then meet their children for the Fun Run. We love a family dash!

All proceeds from the race are donated to Active4Youth, a local non-profit that believes that by teaching sports and introducing healthy activities to children at a young age, we can begin to address the alarming rise of childhood obesity, while providing children with a safe place to play after school. Its elementary running program is provided at no cost to children in Spokane Public Schools, West Valley School District, and Central Valley School District.
