Virtual race option: Anywhere, USA – it’s virtual!

DESCRIPTION:

Annually, the Dayton Dragons host one of the biggest timed, 5K races in the Miami Valley with over 2,000 participants. With $75 worth of swag included with your entry…you don’t want to miss out on this awesome event!

The Dragons 5K will continue offering a virtual option for those that prefer that method for 2024.  What this means is that you can register for the race, then run, walk, or hike your own Dragons 5K in your neighborhood, on a treadmill or at a local park, and then simply input your time online by July 31, 2024.  You will still receive your swag bag of items including the 5K t-shirt, medal, and Dragons hat, and now four (4) tickets to a game this summer (we will email all participants about tickets redemption the week after the race date of July 20, 2024). 

How to Submit Results (If you select the VIRTUAL OPTION)

Results can be submitted now through July 20, 2024.  You can submit online by logging into your RunSignUp account. Click here to Submit Results
