3-2-1 Dash for Down Syndrome 5K & Fun Run is a running race on March 20, 2027 in Charlotte, NC, with entry fees from $15 to $21.
People with Down syndrome have an extra chromosome. That's why this race has a little something extra too! Runners will cross the standard 5K finish line, then go on to run to an extra finish line to represent the extra chromosome in our friends with Down syndrome. Runners will be cheered on the "extra" dash by spectators with Down syndrome!
All runners are invited to join us after the race for the World Down Syndrome Day celebration including food, games and bounce houses!
