DECA Dash 5K

DECA Dash 5K Run/Walk is a student‑run fundraiser held in Ridgewood, New Jersey, at Saddle River County Park's Ridgewood Wild Duck Pond, along scenic park trails. The 5K course winds around the pond, offering a pleasant outdoor route with views while supporting DECA, which prepares future leaders in marketing, finance, hospitality, and management. Proceeds fund the local DECA chapter’s competitions and help make them more affordable for students, with 10% of profits donated to charities that expand access to education.

Sponsored by Santoni's and Park West Tavern, the entry fee is $15. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
