San Diego Donut Dash

San Diego Donut Dash is a family-friendly running festival held at Kit Carson Park in Escondido, CA. The event offers a 5K, a Donut Mile (one mile, four donuts, limited to 100 participants), and a Kids Dash of 400 yards. Celebrating donuts with a festive atmosphere, it features a free donut bar, a donut-themed finisher’s medal, and a finish-line festival with more than 1,000 donuts.

The Donut Mile winner earns the Donut Championship Belt. The event returns to a new location but keeps its signature donut vibe, inviting participants to enjoy treats from local bakeries. Date: September 27, 2025. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
