18th Dogfish Dash

🏃‍♂️ Race Overview

Our off-centered race through Milton is back for another incredible year! Join us for our 18th annual Dogfish Dash on Sunday, Sept. 28th! This year, all proceeds will go to our friends from Sussex County Land Trust, and though it’s the same race day you know and love, including yet another Recycled Costume Contest, there will also be some newness, like a shorter, walking ‘race’ for hoomans and their pups and a race route Cheer Squad!

🗓️ The Races

• When: Sunday, Sept. 28 from 9 – 11 a.m. (Psst ... Judging for Recycled Costume Contest will be at 8 a.m.)
• Where: Dogfish Head Milton Brewery, 6 Cannery Village Center, Milton, DE 19968
• Registration: NOW OPEN for both the 6k(ish) run and our NEW 3K walk happening on Sunday, Sept. 28th!
• Route: This year, we’re making some tweaks to the route to encourage a Cheer Squad of supporters to line the race route and cheer on runners.

🎟️ Registration Details

Registration is now open and the fee is $50 for runners and $40 for walkers. Dashers participating in either the run or the walk will receive some sweet runner goodies including a t-shirt, a running belt, and two beverage tickets (21+ only) to our post-run party. We’ll have our draft beer trailer, and activities from Sussex County Land Trust and other partners on-site during our post-run party so runners and their friends can hang out after the race!
