About the Cupid's Dash for Dolls 5K & 10K
The course runs through historic Midway, a small town with a distinct character that shows itself on foot. The race honors a local woman who spent her life collecting dolls for girls during the holidays, and that purpose is felt throughout the morning. Runners are encouraged to bring a doll donation, and there is post-race food, music, and ice cream nearby at a local soda fountain.
Packet pickup is on race morning at a neighborhood elementary school gymnasium, no ID or paperwork required. The start is at Walter Bradley Park. The post-race scene includes food and music, and runners can walk over to Railroad Drug and Olde Time Soda Fountain to redeem an ice cream with their bib.

The Cupid's Dash for Dolls 5K & 10K has been held every year since at least 2021. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
