Dash For Down Syndrome

Dash For Down Syndrome raises funds and awareness for the Eastern Idaho Down Syndrome Family Connect organization.  This is a day of celebration for the local Down syndrome community, their families, and supporters. We want to thank all of the sponsors, volunteers, and individuals that make this race possible.

EVENT INFORMATION
We are excited for race day, August 28, 2021, and can’t wait to see you there! We are planning to have our race in person at Snake River Landing!!!

REGISTER EARLY!!! The 1st 800 people that register are guaranteed a SWAG BAG!

Any 10K and 3.21 Mile participants registered before August 6th will be guaranteed a race t-shirt (or if you order an add-on shirt before August 6th). After August 6th there will be limited shirt sizes if you register for the 10K or 3.21 Mile race or if you wish to purchase a shirt. So register early!

We will have medals at the finish line of each race. You also MUST HAVE YOUR BIB ON when you cross the finish line to receive your official medal!

If you register for the 10K or 3.21 Mile race you may also participate in the fun run! You do not need to register for both.  Only one registration per person is needed.

INDIVIDUALS WITH DOWN SYNDROME
Individuals with Down syndrome that are registered for any of the three races will get a t-shirt, an engraved medal, and a racecourse poster.  They will be highlighted on race day to celebrate their successes!  If you are registering an individual with Down syndrome please choose the “Individual with Down Syndrome” registration option so we can make sure we have everything ready for them at the race!  Thank you! Call Mary Murray at 208-520-9900 with any questions.

PACKET PICK-UP
Friday, August 27, 2021
3:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Location: Eastern Idaho Down Syndrome Family Connect Office Parking Lot, 1675 S Woodruff, Idaho Falls, 83404
We are excited to show you our new office! Please park and come on in! We are between Gandolfos and Red Clover. Parking can be a bit limited so we will have 5 spaces marked as “Dash Parking” right across from our office. We will have our sponsor flags and our swag store up so make sure to take a look at those as you pick up your packets. At packet pick-up, participants must present a valid photo ID or a copy of their confirmation email in order to pick up their bib, timing chip, and race shirt. We ask that only one car comes to pick up each team’s packets to help with traffic congestion. So for example, one car would come pick up all of Team Eli’s packets. If you are not on a team, then you come get your packet on your own. If you have any questions contact Mary Murray, 208-520-9900, dashfordownsyndrome@gmail.com.
