Dash by the Past Mixes Movement, Family Fun, and Local Giving
A spring run and walk with a strong community mission.
Dash by the Past 5K + 1-Mile Walk gives Indianapolis families a reason to get outside and support a good cause at the same time. The event is built for both runners and casual walkers, which makes it feel welcoming instead of intimidating.
This is the fourth annual edition, and it supports The Gregory S. Fehribach Center at Eskenazi Health and Sandra Eskenazi Mental Health Center. The start point is Meridian Restaurant & Bar, giving the event a neighborhood feel instead of a big, impersonal race setup.
For local readers, the appeal is simple. You get a healthy morning activity, a family-friendly atmosphere, and a chance to back important health services in the city. That mix of fun and purpose is hard to beat.
If your ideal Saturday includes a little motion and a little meaning, this one checks both boxes.
This event turns a neighborhood race into real support for Indianapolis health resources.
