SLS Dash 5K & Fun Run for Neurodiversity

About this event

The SLS Dash is an inclusive race where neurodivergent and neurotypical runners of all abilities are invited to compete and have fun together. Whether you’re a seasoned runner, casual walker, adaptive mobility/wheelchair participant, or volunteer, the SLS Dash is an opportunity to celebrate movement, neurodiversity, and inclusion.

Superhero-themed: participants & volunteers alike are invited to “Dash Like a Hero” by donning their favorite superhero’s costume (or any family-friendly repurposed Halloween costume).
