If you signup for this race by Sunday, July 4, 2021 we can guarantee you will receive your 5K t-shirt, medal, and Dragons hat. Otherwise, we are unable to guarantee all the items and desired t-shirt size.
If you register for the in-person option, you will want to ready to go at the start time by 7:45am. We recommend those that are walking or have strollers stand near the back to make room for those that want to be more competitive/have faster pace times.
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 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!
