Down Set Dash for Down Syndrome 5K

Down Set Dash for Down Syndrome 5K is run in Jacksboro, Tennessee on October 24, 2026. One event is on the schedule, a 5K run and walk that starts at 10:30 a.m., a later slot than most fall races and one that makes for an unhurried morning if you are traveling in.

The run-and-walk format signals a welcoming field, so this is a sensible target if you are coming back from a break or entering your first race. Give yourself a real warm-up given the mid-morning start: 10 minutes easy, some dynamic drills, and a couple of short accelerations. Runners using it as a training piece can add two or three easy miles after the finish, turning 3.1 hard miles into a full quality session.
