West Davidson High School's Athletic Department is proud to host its inaugural Dragon Dash 5K and Little Lizard 1K, a community event dedicated to supporting the growth and success of our student-athletes. Proceeds from the race will help provide essential resources, equipment, facility improvements, and opportunities that directly benefit our athletic programs.
By participating, sponsoring, donating, or cheering on our runners, you are investing in the young people who represent our community with pride, dedication, and perseverance. Together, we can ensure that West Davidson athletes have the tools and support they need to compete, grow, and succeed both on and off the field.
5K Course Overview:
This course covers 3.1 miles and is relatively flat. It is a two-loop course that starts and ends on the track, but the route also features a wooded trail, grassy areas, crushed gravel, and paved surfaces. As such, this course is not suitable for strollers, and for the safety of all participants and functionality of races, dogs are not welcome during either the 5K or Little Lizard 1K.
Awards:
Overall top ten men for the 5K
Overall top ten women for the 5K
Overall top 3 boys for Little Lizard 1K
Overall top 3 girls for Little Lizard 1K
**All 5K participants will be entered in a drawing for prizes, including but not limited to one 2026 WDHS football season pass and priority football parking.*
Packet Pick-Up:
