DASH 2021 INSTRUCTIONS

The 2021 Virtual Dash 4 Dignity kicks off April 1st. As a virtual event, you can go the distance any day, time and course of your choosing during April. As our first virtual Dash, let me share some tips and updates as you prepare to Dash with us this year. You can scroll through the page or use the buttons below for specific topics.

DASH PREMIUMS

Our Dash shirt is a "responsibly sourced" performance t-shirt, which means care has been taken by the supplier to offer products that are not made by slave labor. We are not able to include a 5K finisher medal this year, due to longer lead times to order the medals. Instead, all Dash participants will receive a Dash drawstring backpack, which we hope you will enjoy well after your Dash Day. When we resume Dashing as a community, we anticipate a return to our 5K finisher medals.

DASH PACKETS

Your registration fee this year included mailing out the Dash packets. We anticipate getting them out the week of April 19th once we receive our Dash shirts and bags. We also offered the option for on-site packet pickup and we will be hosting a community awareness event which we are calling the "Pathway to Freedom." Those who select the PICKUP option for their packet will follow the Dash Pathway to Freedom to learn more about the work being done to Reach, Recover, Restore the exploited and vulnerable in our area. Click Pathway to Freedom link for details.
