Get ready to lace up your running shoes for Parkland’s yearly celebration of community and athleticism: The Parkland Dash! With choices of a 5K, 5-mile, or a 1-mile run, there’s an option for everyone, whether you’re a seasoned runner or simply eager to join in the fun.
Each registration helps support Make Our Schools Safe 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 empower students to collaborate to be empowered to create a culture of safety at their school. The foundation collaborates with high-level security advisors to offer survival information for protection in emergencies. We 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.
Mark your calendars for Sunday, October 13, 2024, and join your neighbors at Parkland’s Pine Trails Park. Early registration for the Parkland Dash is just $30 for the 5K and 5-mile runs and $15 for the 1-mile run or walk.
All race participants will receive a specially designed race t-shirt and finisher medal as tokens of their accomplishment. And there’s more! Awards will grace the top three male and overall female finishers in the 5K and 5-mile races, celebrating their dedication and success.
With a race time set for the crisp morning hour of 7:15 am, be prepared for a festive post-race celebration at the park. It’s more than just a race; it’s a jubilant gathering of friends, families, and neighbors, united in wellness and goodwill.
See you at the Parkland Dash!
