GiGi's Playhouse 5K - Dash for Down syndrome
The event on September 27, 2026 takes place at Essentia Health Plaza, 315 Sheyenne St, West Fargo, ND. It combines multiple participation options, including running, walking, rolling, stroller entry, and spectator attendance.
Registration categories and fees are listed for adults and youth, and individuals with Down syndrome register for free. Registrants who register by August 26, 2026 by noon are eligible to receive a T-shirt; reduced fees are noted for registrations without a T-shirt. All registration fees directly support GiGi's Playhouse Fargo programs and help keep those programs free for individuals with Down syndrome and their families.
Participants are also fundraisers: each registrant can create a personal fundraising page to collect donations that support educational, therapeutic, and social programming. The event offers alternative ways to contribute, including donations and sponsorship opportunities for those not attending in person.
Race registration includes access to event activities and specific course options. Medals will be awarded to children under 12 and to all individuals with Down syndrome. The event schedule includes festival activities alongside the course options.
