Nash Dash 2010 by talktobert
As of this Sunday, we're two weeks out from a great community celebration to benefit the Bert Nash Cetner (and a race too!). Last year, we re-imagined the Nash Dash to include a Bash. In the years prior, we'd host a 5k or a 1 mile fun run along the levee. We thought we could make this annual fundraiser bigger and better, and boy, we did!
With a USTA certified 5K and 10K, we brought in over 500 runners, more than 250 volunteers, and thousands of supporters who filled downtown Lawrence and generated over $90,000 in support of our community. At the end of the race we had a street festival on the 600 block of Mass with live music, kids’ activities, and food and beverages. Well, we're doing it all again this year!
We've also brought back the popular Hill Challenge: a race-within-a-race. The female and male winners with the fastest "hill time" receive their very own chunk of Mt. Oread limestone! The Hill Challenge consists of the 13th street hill up to campus. Better start training now, as I've heard a lot of people claim they're going to win the challenge this year!
So come on out for the Nash Dash & Bash on Sunday, October 9th! Registration forms can be found at area business and Hy-Vees or you can register online. There's still time to receive $5 off registration fees through tomorrow evening! Races starts at 8:30am and the Bash goes until 2pm. Hope to see you there!
