Organiser's Description
5K (3.1 MILE) RUN/FAMILY WALK
The DRUMSTICK DASH is a 5k run and family walk that happens every Thanksgiving Morning. The DASH benefits the Rescue Mission of Roanokes dining services and provides for the meals that the Rescue Mission serves on an annual basis. We typically serve about 200,000+ meals a year to those in need. These meals go to adults and children alike, providing needed nutrition so that each of our guests can focus on the ultimate success, rising out of poverty. We are honored to welcome some of the best runners in the area (and some from beyond) to our race. The DASH is the most popular race in the area and attracts everyone in the family from the athletic types to the ones who just want to have a good time and take a stroll. When you participate in the DASH, you're not just making a statement, you're supporting a movement.
