Race Information
Get ready to sprinkle some fun into your fall with the Shipley Do-Nut Dash on Saturday, October 18 at Sam Houston Race Park, the tastiest race in town! Whether you're racing for a personal best or just here for the glaze and glory, they’ve got a distance for everyone — 10K, 5K, and the Kids Dash!
Runners and walkers alike will dash through a deliciously fun course filled with donut stops along the way and sweet surprises at the finish line. All participants receive a donut-themed shirt, a donut finisher medal, Shipley Do-Nuts on course and at the finish, donuts and coffee, and more sugary goodness to keep you fueled and smiling.
Best of all, part of the proceeds from the race will benefit Kids' Meals, helping fight childhood hunger right here in our community. So every mile you run (or walk!) helps make a meaningful difference.
Lace up those sprinkle-kissed sneakers and join us for a morning full of miles, smiles, and mouthwatering treats. Run fast. Eat donuts. Give back. Repeat.
