SLS Dash 5K & Fun Run for Neurodiversity

The SLS Dash is an inclusive race where neurodivergent and neurotypical runners of all abilities are invited to compete and have fun together. Whether you’re a seasoned runner, casual walker, adaptive mobility/wheelchair participant, or volunteer, the SLS Dash is an opportunity to celebrate movement, neurodiversity, and inclusion.

Superhero-themed: participants & volunteers alike are invited to “Dash Like a Hero” by donning their favorite superhero’s costume (or any family-friendly repurposed Halloween costume).
