Dallas 5K Will Take Place Both On-Site And Virtually

DALLAS, GA - The City of Dallas will host the 10th Annual Dallas 5k Race for a Cure both on-site, but with social distancing, and virtually later this month. The race is open to all ages.

The in-person race will begin at 8 am. on Saturday April 24 with the Start/Finish line at the Dallas Police Department, 120 Main Street. Runners are required to enter an estimated finish time, so organizers can stagger the start times to comply with social-distancing guidelines. The race is chip timed and is a Peachtree Road Race qualifier.

Virtual competitors will have an opportunity to run on their own between April 23 and 25, and must submit their results on the registration website by 11:59 p.m. on April 25.

Proceeds from the event will go to Relay for Life of Paulding County and the American Cancer Society.

With early registration closed, it costs $25 for ages 11 and up to enter the race, while 10 and under are $20. Children 10 and under also are invited to run the race for free, but they will not receive a race goodie bag.

Participants still can sign up for the race online or in person. On-site registration and goodie bag pickup will take place from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on April 23 at the Downtown Courtyard. Those activities will continue ahead of the race at 6:45 a.m. on April 24, and must be completed by 7:30 a.m.

Awards will be handed out in several categories. Results will be posted on active.com and award winners will be contacted about award pickup.
