Dozer's Run 5K

Dozer's Run 5K takes place on April 11, 2027 in Hockessin, Delaware. The event is a 5K run and walk (3.1 miles) starting at 8:30 a.m., held in support of canine cancer research.

Charity 5Ks like this one draw a broad field, from runners racing the clock to walkers covering the distance at their own pace, and both are welcome in the same event. That makes it a good target if you are new to racing: the distance is achievable on three or four short runs a week for a month, and nobody is going to look twice if you mix in walking breaks. If you are experienced and want a hard effort, treat it as a spring fitness check — 3.1 miles run honestly is one of the most reliable ways to figure out your current training paces.
