The Dragons 5K is a timed 3.1 mile event organized at Day Air Ballpark in Dayton, Ohio, with a virtual 5K option that can be completed anywhere. Previous editions have drawn over 3,000 participants. Both in-person and virtual entries include a race swag bag that typically contains a 5K t-shirt, a medal, a Dragons hat, and four tickets to a Dragons game. Early registrants receive two additional stadium seats; registrants who sign up by July 12, 2026 are guaranteed the listed swag items and preferred t-shirt size while supplies last.
Entry pricing for in-person registration starts at $25 for adults and $20 for youth, with scheduled price increases on April 12, June 1, and the week of the race. Virtual entries incur an additional $10 for shipping of swag, or participants may pick up items at the ballpark after the event.
In-person participants are electronically timed. Overall winners receive engraved Dragons bats; top three finishers in age groups receive team store e-gift cards valued at $15, $10, and $5. Group awards and high school group recognitions are included; virtual participants are not eligible for prizes. Race packet pickup is available at the ballpark in the days before the event, on race day at designated stations, and post-event pickup is offered for virtual participants who decline shipping.
