Dash Before the Game Day Bash

Dash Before the Game Day Bash takes place in West Liberty, Ohio, on Saturday, November 28, 2026. The event offers one format, the Dash Before the Game Day Bash 5K, starting at 9:00 a.m. As the name suggests, the run is scheduled to fit in before a game-day celebration, making it an early-morning outing on the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend.

A morning 5K like this one suits just about everyone. If you are new to running, it is a manageable goal that three or four weeks of easy jogging will prepare you for. If you run regularly, use it as a tempo effort or a quick fitness check before the winter. Warm up properly before the start so the first mile feels controlled. With the rest of the day given over to game-day plans, the 9:00 a.m. start leaves plenty of time to finish, recover, and enjoy the bash.
