Lace up your shoes for the Dare to Care Dash, an inspiring 3.1-mile (5K) run and fitness walk taking place on Saturday, June 13, 2026, in Milford, Ohio. Starting and finishing at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church, this USATF-certified course is renowned for being completely flat and wide, offering an excellent opportunity for personal bests. Runners will journey through quiet residential streets before enjoying a scenic, wooded 1.5-mile paved loop around Miami Meadows Park, providing a refreshing natural backdrop. This beloved community event, formerly known as the "Run for the Poor" since 1992, was rebranded in 2024 to further emphasize its mission of supporting marginalized communities.

The Dare to Care Dash is more than just a race; it's a powerful fundraiser with all proceeds directly benefiting the St. Vincent de Paul Society, assisting neighbors in need across six Southwest Ohio counties with essential support like food, clothing, housing, and utilities. Participants can look forward to a welcoming atmosphere, with refreshments provided after crossing the finish line and a chance to win from over 50 prize awards drawn from pre-registrations, along with additional door prizes. Typical race day conditions in mid-June feature pleasant highs around 84°F and lows around 61°F, with an approximately 18% chance of precipitation, creating a comfortable environment for runners and walkers alike.

Join fellow enthusiasts for a truly impactful experience that combines fitness, community spirit, and meaningful charity. Packet pickup is conveniently held the day before at Fleet Feet Loveland, setting you up for a smooth race morning. Whether you're aiming for a new personal record or simply want to contribute to a vital cause, the Dare to Care Dash promises a rewarding and enjoyable day for all.
