Devon Elementary Dragon Dash 5K and 1 Mile Family Fun Run/Walk

Devon Elementary Dragon Dash 5K and 1 Mile Family Fun Run/Walk is held in Radnor, Pennsylvania, on November 8, 2026. The 5K Dragon Dash starts at 9:00 a.m. and the one-mile family fun run and walk follows ten minutes later at 9:10 a.m. The two staggered starts let adults race the longer distance while children and walkers head out on the mile shortly afterward, with everyone back at the same finish area.

School races are usually where a first race happens, and the mile is the right length for that: long enough to feel like an event, short enough that nobody needs a training plan. Adults treating the 5K seriously can be sharp within six weeks by adding one weekly session of short repeats to their easy running. If you are running it alongside a child, agree on a pace beforehand and let them set it.
