Organiser's description

Come out and celebrate the start of a new school year (or mourn the end of summer?) with Flash Running Wild's inaugural DASH Back-to-School 1-mile & 5k runs! All kids who finish either the 5k, 1 mile, or 200m dash will be given a medal. There will be small prizes for the 1st place finishers in all races.

The DASH Back-to-School is meant to be FUN, not super competitive. If you set a PR, awesome! Race will be timed, but results will be tallied manually so order of finishers and times will be announced a few days after the race!
