Like to have family fun? Like to run? Believe that all students deserve a quality education? Then the International Dyslexia Association Kansas-Missouri Branch’s Dyslexia Dash is for you!
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, this year's Dash will be an untimed fun run. Participation will be offered in person and virtually, and all participants are encouraged to time themselves and upload their times to our site! We will host a timed 5k in the spring when conditions are more favorable for an intense run, and any runners who participate this fall will receive a discount for the spring event!
Please choose your event carefully so you are registered for the Dyslexia Dash in your area! Each event has the specific location in the description, and we will provide detailed information to registrants via email and social media as the race gets closer.
As many as 1 out of every 5 people in the United States have some degree of a learning disability. The most common being dyslexia representing 80% of all learning disabilities.
