Darien Dash 5k and 10k

The Darien Dash is an annual event presented by the City of Darien and the Darien Business Alliance, featuring a series of races. It offers chip timing on a CARA-certified course, with significant discounts for CARA members. The event includes awards for top participants and is complemented by a DJ music warm-up and a free kiddie fun run. Registered participants receive a tee shirt and swag bag. While the use of wheeled items is prohibited, participants with strollers or joggers must start at the rear. The event thrives with support from various partners and sponsors.
