The inaugural DAD Dash 5K run/walk on Saturday June 8th at Vista View Park in Davie, Florida, was a huge success. The event celebrated fatherhood, the embodiment of togetherness, and health. 


The DAD Dash event was more than another 5K run/walk; it was an homage to dads of every name: Dad, Grandpa, Pops, Bonus Dad, bolstered by camaraderie and purpose. This event marked the prelude to Father's Day weekend, enveloping all in its embrace of vitality and joy.


We want to thank everyone who worked so hard in making this inaugural DAD Dash 5K run/walk such a huge success. We now turn our attention to 2025 where we expect this tribute to fathers to be even bigger and better, stay tuned.
