🐔🥚 Chicken Run 5K: Crack the Riddle, Run for a Cause! 🏃♀️✨
Which came first — the chicken or the egg? This spring, we’re racing to find out at the Chicken Run 5K, a fun-filled fundraiser supporting the life-changing work of the Dayton Autism Society! Whether you’re a speedy rooster, a casual stroller, or rocking your best chicken costume, every step you take helps provide advocacy, education, safety programs, and community support for individuals and families affected by autism across the Miami Valley.
Expect barnyard-level fun with themed photo stations, silly prizes, family activities, and egg-cellent surprises along the route! After the race, stick around for music, snacks, and a friendly “chicken vs. egg” showdown where participants cast their votes.
So lace up, remember your feathers (optional!), and join us for a morning of movement, laughter, and purpose. Together, we’ll crack the case and make a meaningful difference — one stride at a time! 🐣
