Description
Parkland Dash, presented by HCA Northwest Medical Center is back! But this time--you choose your route! In keeping with social distancing requirements, we are excited to offer the Parkland Dash virtually this year. While we are not able to be together "physically" this year, all runners will be able to view live results online throughout the race day as participants submit their times.
On Sunday, October 18th, just run and track your 5K (3.1 miles) or 5 Miles while using your Race Joy App. Instructions for submitting times can be found below. The deadline to submit your time is 3:00 PM EST on Sunday, October 18th. Once the countdown clock reaches zero, no more times will be accepted and the race will be finalized.
