Daly Dash 5K Run/Walk

Lace up for the Daly Dash 5K Run/Walk, set to take place on Saturday, May 2, 2026, in the welcoming community of Elkhart, Indiana! This engaging 5K event offers runners and walkers alike the chance to experience a scenic course winding through the charming Strong Avenue neighborhood. Both the start and finish lines are conveniently located at Mary Daly Elementary School, making it a true community affair. Typical race day conditions in early May often bring pleasant highs around 67°F and lows of 45°F, with only a 19% chance of precipitation, providing an ideal climate for a spirited run.

The Daly Dash is more than just a race; it's a celebration for the entire family. All participants will be recognized with ribbons to commemorate their accomplishment, and competitive runners can vie for medals awarded to the top three male and female finishers in each division, with the top three overall male and female runners earning impressive trophies. Be sure to register by April 15th to guarantee your exclusive race t-shirt.

What truly sets the Daly Dash apart is its vibrant post-race Block Party, held on the school grounds from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM. Runners and their supporters can enjoy free games, a bounce house for the kids, and a variety of food options from local vendors, ensuring a festive atmosphere for everyone. This event promises a day of healthy competition and community spirit, rain or shine. Participants have even described it as an "amazing race."
