Event Overview
The Dogwood Dash 5K & Mini Dash is a running and walking event held in Bristol, Tennessee. The race is organized as part of the 100th Dogwood Homecoming weekend at King University. The course begins and finishes at the King University campus, specifically near the Student Center on Hart Blvd. Participants follow a route that transitions from the campus grounds through the historic Fairmount residential neighborhood.
The event consists of two main distances:
- 5K Run/Walk

The races are electronically timed by We Run Events using B-tags attached to the back of the participant's race bib. Results are made available through onsite kiosks or digital QR codes following the completion of the event.
