Dash for the Donuts 5K
The Dash for the Donuts is a community sports event held in Chesapeake, Virginia. The event occurs at the Dismal Swamp Canal Trail, providing a natural setting for participants. The proceedings benefit the Chesapeake Police Foundation, supporting their various community initiatives.
The event features two distinct distances:
- 5K running race
- 1 mile Kids run
The courses for both the 5K and the 1 mile distance start at the north entrance of the trail, specifically located at Mile Post 4. The 5K route follows a flat path along the canal, while the shorter 1 mile event is organized specifically for younger participants.
Registration for the 5K and the 1 mile run opens in February. The event takes place entirely within the recreational area of the Dismal Swamp Canal Trail, utilizing the paved pathways of the park. Participants gather at the designated mile marker to participate in these athletic activities while contributing to a local foundation.
