Short review

PLACE:

In-person race option: Day Air Ballpark (Home of the Dayton Dragons) – 220 Patterson Blvd. Dayton, OH 45402

Virtual race option: Anywhere, USA – it’s virtual!

IMPORTANT: START TIME CHANGED TO 8 AM!

Thank you for signing up for the 2021 Dragons 5K.  Due to some adjustments we had to make for the racecourse, we are unable to do a separate start/finish and will need to adjust our start time for the 5K to 8 AM (was originally scheduled to start @ 7 AM). 

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?

There is nothing you need to do except be ready to start the 5K at 8 AM at Day Air Ballpark Plaza.  The updated/final map for the 5K will be featured on the RunSignUp page for your review (it is the same route as 2019).

If you had previously signed up for a specific start time – you no longer need to worry about that (it will not apply with the new start time).  We will have pace signs and ask participants to line up at the start line according to their pace (faster runners in front – strollers and walkers in the back).  There shouldn’t be any issues with providing as much space as possible at the start line since your time doesn’t start until you go over the timer at the start line.

DESCRIPTION:

Annually, the Dayton Dragons host one of the biggest timed, 5K races in the Miami Valley with over 2,000 participants.  So, we’re excited to share the great news that “THE RACE THAT PAYS YOU” is back with options to participate in-person and virtual (whatever you are most comfortable with for 2021) .  With $100 worth of swag included with your entry…you don’t want to miss out on this awesome event!

Due to the continued impact of COVID-19, the Dragons 5K will continue offering a virtual option for those that prefer that method for 2021.  What this means is that you can register for the race, then run, walk, or hike your own Dragons 5K in your neighborhood, on a treadmill or at a local park, and then simply input your time online by July 24, 2021.  You will still receive your swag bag of items including the 5K t-shirt, medal, and Dragons hat (we will email all participants with a link to select Dragons tickets for the 2021 season after the race date of July 24, 2021).

If you participated in 2020 and are owed a 50% discount – you should have received a special email the first week of June that contained a special link to get this pricing.  Please note...you have until June 11 to secure your registration with this discounted pricing!  

Reminder: This discount is not transferrable and must be used by the same email address, first name, and date of birth from last year's race.
