Custom Finisher's Medal

Cottontail Dash is an untimed half mile fun run with an egg hunt along the route. All participants receive a finisher's medal and a shirt. You are welcome to bring your own bag/basket or one will be provided for you. Eggs are handed out by volunteers so that everyone will come away with equal amount of eggs. Parents who only want to accompany their children on the course do not need to register. This event has a 125 person limit.

Due to the overwhelming popularity of this event and to protect our littlest Cottontail participants we will be splitting the dash into 2 waves. Ages 6 and under and ages 7 and older. Parents who would like their children to run together please choose one of the waves to participate in.

Race Day Registration will be available beginning at 6:00am.

We accept cash, and credit cards on race day

• Prices on Race Day:
  • Half Marathon - $90

Cottontail Dash Course Map

The courses will take you through dedicated running trails (all asphalt and concrete) of the New River Trail System, starting and ending at Rio Vista Park in Peoria - meaning no need for transportation before or after the race just to get back to your car! Please note - this is an open use trail system and does not close for our event.

Courses are subject to change if Race Director deems the course to be unsafe on race day.
