Register now for Little Hercules Foundation's DuchenneDash, a 5K/10K DOG FRIENDLY walk/run. This year's event will start at Karrer Middle School in Dublin, Ohio and continues down a trail through a nature preserve. This is an out and back course. We will have music, beautiful scenery, snacks, and free treats for our four-legged supporters! Proceeds will fund promising research aiming to cure Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a devasting neuromuscular disease affecting mostly boys. Today, there is no cure, but with YOUR help, there can be one tomorrow.
*NEW THIS YEAR! We have TWO new events for you to choose from! The VIRTUAL 5k (if you can't be with us on race day), and The Pump-N-Run!
All participants will receive an event t-shirt (only guaranteed if registered by May 1st).
For safety reasons, please keep dogs on a leash for the entire event.
*We’ve teamed up with another Duchenne organization, Small Heroes Foundation, to bring you these awesome sunglasses designed just for runners! You can purchase by clicking here. We will also have these available for purchase on race day! All proceeds benefit Duchenne research!*

Some important information for race day:
Location: The race is being held at a new location this year! This will allow for us to have more participants than in the past, and hopefully offer you an environment with a few less ticks than previous years as well! 😊 We will be starting the race at Dublin Karrer Middle School, 7245 Tullymore Dr., Dublin, Ohio. You can park in the school parking lot.
T-shirts/ Packet Pick-Up: For those who registered by end of day on May 1st, you are guaranteed a t-shirt. These can be picked up along with your bib and race bag during advanced packet pickup on Thursday, May 9th and Friday, May 10th between 3:30-7:30 p.m. at Mesh Fitness, 6678 Riverside Drive, Dublin, Ohio. You can also pick up your items on race day between 7:30-8:30 a.m. If you registered after May 1st, we ask that you visit the check-in table after the race to pick up a t-shirt from the quantities and sizes we have left. We ordered a few extra t-shirts in an effort to try and get a t-shirt to all, but please understand that we are limited in sizes and quantities to those that are left after all participants have checked in.
Pump-n-Run: If you are signed up for the Pump-n-Run, the PUMP portion of the event will take place at Mesh Fitness, 6678 Riverside Drive, Dublin, Ohio.

These will be given to you as you cross the finish line. We will not have an official awards ceremony. If you are a timed runner, please make sure you wear your assigned bib as this is the only way we have of recording your time. We will make any leftover medals available for a $10 minimum donation, so if you’re interested, please go to the check-in table after you finish.
Dogs: 1st four-legged warrior to cross the finish line gets a prize package! And we will have sweet treats for all our doggie friends. Please remember to keep your dog on a leash during the entire event, and clean up after them.
Greenswell app: Our friends at Greenswell have an awesome app to enhance your race day experience. Go to the App Store and download their app to see the schedule of activities, course map, weather forecast, and some really fun custom selfie filters that will allow you to post your race day pics on social media with the hashtags “I ran to #ENDDMD today” and “We ran to #ENDDMD today.”
And lastly: We will have Hawaiian Ice and Kidspiration Face Paint there for some fun for the kids! You may want to bring a few extra dollars for these vendors!
