Dig Deep Dash 5K Run/Walk

Dig Deep Dash 5K Run/Walk is run in Santa Clarita, California, on November 7, 2026, with the single 5K starting at 8:00 a.m. over 3.1 miles. One distance, one start, and an early finish — you will be done well before the middle of the morning.

A run/walk 5K is a good place to try the interval approach to racing: alternate a few minutes of running with a short walking break, repeat, and you will often finish faster and more comfortably than by running until you have to stop. If you would rather race it flat out, the preparation is a month of consistent easy running plus one weekly session at 5K effort. Either way, jog for 10 minutes and run a few strides before the 8:00 a.m. start.
