From the Organizer
As part of DLS's ongoing commitment to giving back and supporting causes important to our team members, we are organizing the 3rd Annual DLS 5k & 1 Mile for Lewy Body Dementia! Proceeds will benefit the Lewy Body Dementia Association. Lewy Body is a progressive brain disorder many people have never heard of - despite being the second most common type of dementia after Alzheimer's.
Race date this year is Saturday, August 22nd. The race courses will be out-and-back and mostly flat along the W&OD Trail. Start/finish line will be on the trail at Bon Air Park & Rose Gardens. All finishers will receive a t-shirt (we will do our best but cannot guarantee a t-shirt for those registering after July 22nd). Prizes awarded to the top finishers!
5k and 1-mile will start at 9:10am. There will also be a kids' dash (~300 meters) starting at 9:00am to kick things off! Kids will receive a prize at their finish line.
Timing will be done manually with a race clock and bibs (no chips).
Please come out to walk, jog, run, spectate, or volunteer! There are no pace requirements - everyone is welcome!
If you are interested in helping out on race day, please reach out to race organizer, Kate, at kmarden@dlsdc.com.
