This isn’t about speed — it’s about community. Grab your friends, bring your family, and help us “dash” toward making a real difference for local families in need. Whether you walk, jog, or run, every step helps support neighbors right here in our community.

Instead of a traditional race fee, participants are encouraged to bring much-needed household and pantry items for donation. Barb Food Mart is especially in need of:

-Dish soap
-Trash bags
-Canned fruit
-Toilet paper

(A full donation list will be available in our event materials.)

Expect a fun, welcoming atmosphere with a clearly marked route, a central donation drop-off area, music, community spirit, and plenty of positive energy. All ages and fitness levels are welcome!

Let’s come together, get moving, and make an impact.

Mark your calendar for April 18th, bring a donation, and join the Dash! 💙
