3-2-1 Dash for Down Syndrome 5K

3-2-1 Dash for Down Syndrome 5K & Fun Run takes place in Charlotte, NC, in the Blakeney area at 8835 Blakeney Professional Dr (ZIP 28277). It offers a 5K and a Kids Fun Run, welcoming runners and walkers of all ages. The event is a World Down Syndrome Day celebration and a spring-time tradition, with a post-race festival of food, entertainment and games.

A special feature is the extra dash after the 5K finish, cheered by spectators with Down syndrome to honor the extra chromosome. Swag includes a soft-style shirt (long-sleeve option), and finisher medals for 5K finishers; awards are given top finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
