Discovery Dash 5K/10K and 1 Mile Fun Run

Our unusual course, at Discovery Park of America, will now offer a beautiful fall setting for your race through our 50-acre heritage park. In addition to the scenic course with waterfalls, bridges and unique landmarks.

The route meanders through a 50-acre heritage park that features a man-made river flowing through the extensively landscaped property, along with waterfalls, bridges and other water features. No place else can you dash by a 120-year-old church, an 1800s frontier settlement, a reproduction of a town from the early 19th Century and a complete vintage train station.

From dynamic race day check-in and pre-race entertainment to the dramatic inflatable archway finish line, finishers certificates and winners medals, you wont want to miss a moment.
