DEF Dash 5K
The DEF Dash 5K is an annual running and walking event held at Barnes Memorial Park in Dedham, Massachusetts. This event is organized by the Dedham Education Foundation to support Dedham Public Schools and students. It represents a continuation of the local tradition previously established by Bernie's Run, which operated for ten years before this event launched in 2019.
Participants can choose to complete the course as a run or a walk. The event features a single distance:
- 3.1 Miles (5K)
The race route begins and ends at Barnes Memorial Park. Following the completion of the 5K, the event includes a gathering for participants, family, and friends with food, drinks, and music. The organizers provide an award ceremony to recognize performance across different groups. Prizes are awarded to the top runners in each specific age category. Registration for the event is open in advance and typically closes the day before the race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
