For the little ones not wanting to run the entire park loop, we have the "Lake Lap" which circles Dellinger Park's iconic pond! This adorable race is Super-Cool to watch, so make sure your little ones don't miss out on this summer-time fun!!
- Both races start-and-finish adjacent to Dellinger Park’s duck pond.
- Proceeds go to help benefit area school running programs through Wire2Wire Running's Shoes4Kids Program.
- The Dellinger Dash is exactly one (1) complete loop around the park, including the small hill up to the pool. The full loop is 3K or just shy of 2 miles.
For our younger participants (8 & Under), the ‘Lake Lap’ is designed as a fun run of one (1) lap around Dellinger’s duck pond and is 450 meters, or a tad over a quarter-mile. ALL registered participants receive a commemorative T-shirt for this annual event!
