Doggone Dash

Doggone Dash is a 5K road race held at Mills River Park in Mills River, North Carolina. The course is described as flat and fast, looping around the park so runners can see fellow participants along the way. The event benefits The Street Dog Coalition, which provides free veterinary care to pets of people experiencing homelessness.

Parking is on-site with support from the Town of Mills River, and bibs are used for visual finish confirmation since timing is manual (no chipped timing). Hosted by the North Carolina Mountain Trail Runners, the race fosters a friendly, community atmosphere while supporting a worthy cause.
