2024 Parkland Dash

The Parkland Dash is Parkland's annual race consisting of 5k, 5 mile, and 1 mile run options. This year's beneficiary of the Parkland Dash is Make Our Schools Safe.

Make Our Schools Safe is a 501(c)(3) national non-profit organization dedicated to protecting students and teachers at school. Their mission is to empower students and staff to help create and maintain a culture of safety and vigilance in a secure school environment. Make Our Schools Safe Clubs empowers students to collaborate to create a culture of safety at their school. The foundation works with high-level security advisors to offer survival information for protection in emergencies. They are focused on bringing these skills to schools, so teachers feel confident to protect their students and themselves. Scenario based training in an active shooter situation must be as intrinsic a part of schooling as fire drills.
