The Gastonia Police Donut Dash will occur for the second year at its new location, Rankin Lake Park. We are excited to bring the community and officers together to encourage healthy, long-lasting relationships. The money raised from this run will be funneled back into the City of Gastonia through officer-led events including our Angels in Blue, Shop with a Cop, Back-to-school, 101 Black Men of Highland Thanksgiving Partnership, and more.

Runners participating in 5K with Donuts will be required to eat 6 glazed donuts approximately 1/2 way through the race.  

Runners can choose between Donut Dash 5k, Donut free 5k, Mini-Donut Fun Run, and Donut free Fun Run.
