Lace up your running shoes for the 12th Annual Daisy Dash 5K, set to take place on Saturday, March 21, 2026, in the charming coastal town of Westbrook, CT. This beloved community event offers a USATF certified 5K run/walk, kicking off at 10:00 AM, with a Kids Fun Run preceding it at 9:30 AM. Typical race day conditions in late March bring highs around 48F and lows near 32F, with a minimal 10% chance of precipitation, creating a crisp and invigorating atmosphere for your race.

The scenic course begins at Daisy Ingraham Elementary School, guiding runners down a gentle hill to Boston Post Road. From there, participants turn right before a left onto Seaside Avenue, where they are treated to picturesque views of Long Island Sound. The route continues along the coastline to a turnaround point before reversing back to the elementary school for the finish. This family-friendly event, presented by the Westbrook Public Schools PTOs, is a fantastic way to embrace a healthy lifestyle while directly supporting students across all Westbrook Public Schools, from Pre-K through 12th grade.

Beyond the race itself, the Daisy Dash 5K fosters a vibrant community atmosphere with family activities, delicious food, and awards for overall and age group winners. Post-race celebrations, including a bake sale and raffle prizes, ensure a fun-filled morning for all participants and spectators. Starting and finishing at Daisy Ingraham Elementary School (105 Goodspeed Dr., Westbrook, CT 06498), the Daisy Dash 5K promises a memorable race experience with beautiful coastal scenery and a strong sense of community support.
