Dash for Down Syndrome 2026

Dash for Down Syndrome takes place in August at Snake River Landing in Idaho Falls, supporting the Eastern Idaho Down Syndrome Family Connect community. It includes a timed 10K, a timed 3.21-mile race, and a 1-mile fun run/walk. This variety allows competitive runners, families, walkers, and supporters to participate at a distance suitable for them. The 3.21-mile distance specifically honors Down syndrome, with an extra 21st chromosome. The event generates funds and awareness for Eastern Idaho Down Syndrome Family Connect. Race day also serves as a public acknowledgment of individuals with Down syndrome and their families. Those with Down syndrome can register without charge, receiving a shirt, engraved medal, and racecourse poster, and are recognized for their achievements during the event. All participants receive finish-line medals, and 10K or 3.21-mile runners may also take part in the fun run.
