The Piggyback Dash 10K

The Piggyback Dash is an annual running event held in Union, Missouri, featuring timed 10K and 5K races along with a 2K fun run/walk. The course offers a scenic, rolling route through Union, culminating in a challenging finish atop Autumn Hill. A unique aspect of the race is the optional "piggyback" challenge, where runners can carry someone piggyback up the hill to the finish for extra finisher swag.

The event supports The Lance Purschke Memorial Scholarship Fund and encourages community participation and family involvement. Medals are awarded for top finishers, and aid stations and post-race refreshments are provided. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
