Race Information
The Donut Dash 5K delivers the ultimate mix of miles and maple bars, featuring a donut-themed finisher medal, custom event tee, a FREE donut bar with over 1,000 donuts, and the locally famous Donut Mile (think beer mile… but way sweeter). Hosted at beautiful Kit Carson Park, runners will enjoy a scenic 3-mile loop combining sidewalks, trails, rolling park views, and eye-catching art sculptures throughout the course. The Donut Mile takes place on a ¼-mile loop near the festive staging area at the El Arroyo picnic spot by the duck pond. This family-friendly celebration brings together the best local donut shops and bakeries serving up FREE donuts for all participants and spectators. Whether you’re racing, strolling, or just here for the glaze, this is one event you truly “donut” want to miss.
