About the Dash Before the Game Day Bash
This race runs through West Liberty on a route that avoids the main highway, keeping things on quieter streets. It grew out of an older luminary race tradition in town, rerouted and renamed for a fresh start. Awards follow at a venue called The Grove after the finish.
