Event summary

Join us for the exciting Dashing for Donuts event on Sunday, June 11th, 2023, in El Dorado! This fun-filled day offers a fantastic opportunity to run, walk, and enjoy the outdoors while supporting two great causes: Gildas House, which aids families affected by cancer, and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Participants can choose to take part in a 5K run/walk or a delightful 1-mile kids fun run, making it a perfect event for the whole family.

All participants will receive a stylish purple cotton t-shirt, an adorable "medal," and a delicious fresh donut at the finish line! The race will take place on the picturesque El Dorado Trail, beginning at the railroad station. While most of the route is paved, be prepared for a short stretch on a dirt road during the 5K. With an out-and-back course that starts uphill and ends with a thrilling downhill finish, it promises to be an exhilarating experience. Don't miss out on this chance to get active, enjoy a community event, and make a difference—rain or shine!

Organiser's description

Come run, walk, and have some fun while exercising!

We are holding a 5K run/walk and a kids fun 1 mile run. All runners will get a purple cotton t-shirt, cute "medal", and a fresh donut at the finish line. The run is benefiting Gildas House, (they support families with a cancer diagnosis), and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Also, $1 goes towards the El Dorado Trails. The race will happen rain or shine.

Our race will be held on the El Dorado Trail beginning at the railroad station in El Dorado. It is a paved trail except for about 1/3 mile, which is on a dirt road for the 5k race. Parking is limited so please keep the roads clear. You may park on the side of the dirt road. Please do not park in the community center spaces and also keep the road clear.

You will be running up hill first and then get to run downhill, so it is an out and back race.

Packet pickup will be held Friday, June 9th 4 pm-7 pm and June 10th 10 am-2 pm outside Kaia Fit Placerville, 4615 Missouri Flat Road #5, Placerville, California. You may also pickup your packet before the race at the race location.

Thank you for coming out!
