The Piggyback Dash 10K, 5K, 2K
The Piggyback Dash is a community running event held in Union, MO, at 310 Autumn Hill Drive. The event features road courses through the streets of Union with a finish at the top of Autumn Hill.
Distances:
- 10K
- 5K
- 2K (1.2 mile) fun run/walk
The 5K is a single loop course. The 10K and 5K start together; as 5K runners make the last turn onto Autumn Hill Drive the 10K runners continue straight and run an additional three miles through Union. Aid stations are provided along the 5K and 10K routes, and post race refreshments are available.
The 10K and 5K are chip timed and medals will be awarded. The 2K fun run/walk is not officially timed and no medals are provided. Once runners reach the bottom of Autumn Hill there is an optional piggyback element in which a participant may carry another person up the hill to the finish; this is voluntary and not required to finish.
All proceeds from the event benefit a memorial scholarship fund administered through the Union R-XI Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
