Donut Dash XVII

17th year of 4 miles & 4 donuts benefiting Child Life Programs in Sacramento Children's Hospitals

***After online registration closes, download and print the same day registration form and bring to one of the shirt/bib locations on Thursday or Friday, or to the start/finish area on Saturday morning 7:15 AM - 8:30 AM. We are sold out of donuts and shirts, we do have donut holes. We will do our best to make sure you get something as there are always no shows and unclaimed shirts. Thank you for the support!!!***

Every March the Donut Dash is held in Land Park with a stop at Marie’s Donuts. Participants start in Land Park then run, jog, or walk 2 miles to Marie’s Donuts. At Marie’s, participants consume 4 donuts (competitive division), 3 donuts (noncompetitive), 6 donut holes, OR nothing at all before making their way back the 2 miles to the start/finish area.

Registration includes the delicious donuts or donut holes from Marie's Donuts, t-shirt, & one-of-a-kind finisher's award.
