The 3.21 Dash for Down Syndrome is a 5k with a little something extra - a .11 mile dash at the end that makes the race 3.21 miles in celebration of individuals with Down syndrome! In order to keep our participants safe, this year’s Dash will take place over the course of 21 days, beginning March 1st and ending on the 21st. Complete the course at any time during this window - or run where you are - and upload your time to the website. Overall winners and age category winners will be announced at 3:21 pm on Sunday, March 21st, which is World Down Syndrome Day!
