GiGi's Playhouse 5K Dash for Down Syndrome
GiGi's Playhouse 5K Dash for Down Syndrome is scheduled for May 30, 2026, at Walsh University in North Canton, Ohio. The event includes a 5K run and a 1 Mile inspirational walk, plus a kids dash and family-focused activities.
Participants register at different fee levels: adult $35, child $15, virtual walker $35, and individuals with Down syndrome register for free. Registration and fundraising options are integrated so each participant can set up a personal fundraising page to support free programs at GiGi's Playhouse Canton. Donations, virtual participation, and sponsorship opportunities are available, and there is a donation cutoff on May 30, 2027.
Event features listed by the organizer include family-friendly activities such as games, face painting, and crafts, music and food, participant prizes and awards for top runners and fundraising champions. Team incentives reward fundraising: any team that raises $321 by April 3 receives a yard sign along the 5K course, top three fundraising teams earn a place on the Dash Wall inside the Playhouse, and the largest team also earns a photo display on the Dash Wall.
