Dash for Dad
Dash for Dad is a community run and walk held at Lake Hawkins in Hawkins, Texas on June 20, 2026. The event is hosted by Amancio's Athletics and was created in memory of a father who passed away after a battle with cancer. It focuses on honoring fathers and father figures, bringing the community together, and encouraging movement and healthier habits.
The course loops around Lake Hawkins and is described as a simple, scenic route. The event offers multiple distances so participants can choose the option that fits them. Volunteers will staff the route and the course will be clearly marked and coned for safety.
Registration details include guaranteed race shirts for registrations completed by June 9, 2026. Entry fees cover participation and parking at the Lake Hawkins beach area. After the event, participants may remain at the lake for swimming and family activities.
Distances:
- 1 Mile Dash - non-timed, non-bibbed family run.
- 5K Run - timed course around Lake Hawkins.
- 10K Run - timed longer loop around Lake Hawkins.
The atmosphere is intended to be relaxed and community-focused, with opportunities to dedicate a run or walk to someone meaningful and to spend Father’s Day with family and friends. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
