2026 Dash to Benefit 5K & Fun Run
The 4th Annual CMC Education Foundation Dash to Benefit is a community race located in Clarksville, Tennessee. This event supports the students and teachers of the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System, with proceeds funding grants, scholarships, and school resources. The event takes place at the Rossview Complex and is held in collaboration with a local employee health and wellness initiative.
Participants can choose from the following distances:
- 5K
- 1 Mile (Fun Run)
The 5K course is contained entirely within the Rossview school complex and consists of two complete laps. The start and finish lines are staged outside the football field area. Volunteers and signage are positioned throughout the route to provide directional assistance. The race is chip-timed, and electronic results are provided following the conclusion of the event.
All individuals finishing the 5K receive a finishers medal. Prizes are awarded to the first-place male and female finishers in several age categories, including 18 and under, 19-32, 33-45, 45-60, and 60 and over. Additionally, local schools compete for donations to their athletic or physical education programs based on student and staff participation levels.
Packet pickup is available the day prior to the race at 621 Gracey Ave or on the morning of the event at the Rossview High School Football complex. This is a rain-or-shine event, and participants are required to sign a liability waiver to take part. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
