Description

Due to hazardous weather conditions expected early Saturday, Sept. 14, the Discovery Dash is postponed to Saturday, Oct. 19, 2024. Your safety is our top priority, and we believe this will provide a better race experience for everyone.

Our unusual course, at Discovery Park of America, will now offer a beautiful fall setting for your race through our 50-acre heritage park. In addition to the scenic course with waterfalls, bridges and unique landmarks, the 1800s Settlement will now be transformed into Pumpkin Village.

The route meanders through a 50-acre heritage park that features a man-made river flowing through the extensively landscaped property, along with waterfalls, bridges and other water features. No place else can you dash by a 120-year-old church, an 1800s frontier settlement, a reproduction of a town from the early 19th Century and a complete vintage train station.

From dynamic race day check-in and pre-race entertainment to the dramatic inflatable archway finish line, finisher’s certificates and winner’s medals, you won’t want to miss a moment.

12 and under
13-19
20-29
30-39
