Donut Dash 5K+- Saint Joseph

Donut Dash 5K+- Saint Joseph takes place in Saint Joseph on October 31, 2026. The Donut Dash starts at 8:00 a.m. and covers 3.8 miles, a little longer than the 5K the name suggests, which is what the plus sign is doing there.

That extra two-thirds of a mile matters more than it sounds if you have only ever raced 5Ks: at 3.8 miles you are running roughly five to eight minutes longer, so start a few seconds per mile slower than your usual 5K pace and you will finish far stronger. Preparation is simple enough, with three or four runs a week and one of them stretching past 40 minutes so the full distance is never a surprise on race day.
