Join us on Saturday, October 4th at Avon Town Hall Park for a crisp autumn run that ends at the Harvest Hayrides Festival! The Apple Mash Dash kicks off at 3PM, with packet pickup beginning at 2pm, winding through the scenic trails of the park and finishing just in time for the Harvest Time Hayrides Festival at 4PM.
Dress to impress in your best costume—there’s a trophy for the most creative look!
Every participant receives a race shirt, medal, and a refreshing hard cider or apple cider at the finish line.
After the dash, stick around for live music, a vendor village, pumpkin patch, hayrides, photo op trail, and so much more!
Whether you're a runner, walker, or stroller-pusher, this event is open to all ages and hosted by the Avon Parks Department. Don’t miss this mash-up of fitness and fall fun!
