Donut Dash 5K
The Donut Dash 5K is a community running event held at Kit Carson Park, El Arroyo picnic area in Escondido. The main race is a roughly 5 kilometer loop that combines sidewalks, trails, a bike path, park views, and art sculptures. The event includes a finish line festival with a free donut bar supplied by local bakeries and vendors, finisher medals, a custom event tee, games, and refreshments.
The program also features a Donut Mile and a kids dash. The Donut Mile is a one mile race run as four 1/4 mile laps; competitors must eat a regular glazed or cake donut to begin each lap. The Donut Mile is limited to 100 runners, uses four waves of 25, has a separate registration from the 5K, and requires entrants to be at least 13 years old. The kids dash is a 1/4 mile loop near the finish area and includes a kids medal.
Additional event details: there is one on-course aid station, strollers are permitted on the 5K course, road or trail shoes are acceptable, and dogs are not allowed. Packet pickup is offered before race day at Carlsbad Running Center and others may pick up a participant packet on behalf of a registrant. Official race results will be provided after the event.
