Description
Run, walk, and dash your way through a self-paced 5K or half marathon in support of the Deaf Organizations Fund (DOF)!
MANOS3Nation, a community-led group of deaf athletes, is co-hosting this virtual run fundraiser with DOF. Our shared goal is to strengthen organizations working with deaf communities through the provision of fully-accessible grants and resources for deaf-centric nonprofits nationwide.
All event proceeds will go towards DOF's work. Click here to learn more about DOF's current grantee cohort, or check out DOF's 2023 Social Impact Report!
Important Dates:
- Early bird registration: March 22 - 29
- Regular registration: March 30 - April 8 (rates increase by $10)
- Dash event: May 3 - 13 (get those miles in!)
You have 10 days in May to complete your chosen distance. Grab your friends, co-workers, and family members to dash with you! After you sign up and are finished dashing, you can enter your distance, time, or both data points via your profile on this website. We'll send you a medal and t-shirt to commemorate your amazing accomplishment and support!
NEW THIS YEAR: We heard your incredibly helpful feedback last year, and are introducing several new features in 2024!
During the registration process, Dashers can now...
- CREATE OR JOIN A TEAM! Teams of five or more Dashers will automatically earn a $5 refund or discount on individual registration fees.
- FUNDRAISE on behalf of Deaf Organizations Fund, making an impact beyond registering for the event! Waive your registration fee by committing to raising $200 or more for DOF!
- OPT OUT of receiving a medal or t-shirt. Have too many of these on your wall or hanging in your closet? Simply let us know you're not interested in either or both item -- the choice will be offered to you during registration.
Dasher Swag
All Dash participants will receive a finisher medal and race t-shirt after the event concludes on May 13th!
Dashers may opt out of either or both items.
Image Description: On left side of the page are two silver t-shirts with dark teal event logos on the chest. The logo depicts hands forming “community” in ASL and four runners of varying heights and sizes. This image is placed within a half circle, and text below reads 2024 Dash for Deaf Organizations. The shirt on far right is a straight cut and boxy fit, and is labeled "Loose Fit Adult (Unisex/Men) and Youth Sizes." The shirt to its right has a curved, body-skimming fit, and is labeled "Fitted (Women) Adult Sizes." On the right side of the page are two medals. The medal on left has a red lanyard with "5K" and the hands portion of our logo in navy blue repeated all around. The medal on right has a teal lanyard with "HALF MARATHON" and the hands portion of our logo in navy blue repeated all around. Both lanyards have the same metal medal with our event logo on it.
