Your favorite things all in one place: running and donuts! Whether you are a runner, a walker, or a donut-enthusiast, this is the event for you! We are excited for our 12th annual Donut Dash 5K and Mini-Donut Dash ½ Mile for Kids, with the course leaving and finishing at Eagle Ridge Academy in Minnetonka This route is an accurately measured 5K course, is chip- and mat-timed, and takes you on a picturesque run or walk, just north of Bren Road. There will be complimentary chair massages and rock tape applications, DJ music, giveaways, fun youth activities and obstacle course, post-race refreshments and snacks, and mini-donuts! Fun for all ages!
All 5K registrants will receive a commemorative 2026 Donut Dash tech shirt (tri-blend), post-race refreshments and snacks, and DONUTS. Mini-dashers will receive a 2026 Donut Dash shirt (50/50% poly/cotton), participation medal, and bag of mini-donuts.
