About the Dashin' thru the

The course runs through a holiday light display at Shady Brook Farm, mostly on stone gravel. Strollers move through it fine, and the setup draws plenty of families alongside runners. You pick a start window when you register, cross the line when your time comes, and make your way through the lights at your own pace.

Packet pickup happens at the Exit Barn on the two evenings before the race, with a same-day option available in the afternoon as well. Water is set up at the finish.

Common Questions About the Dashin' thru the

Will I finish last at the Dashin' thru the?

Almost certainly not. Half the 2 Miles field finished slower than 43:57, and the last recorded finisher came in around 2:42:45, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Dashin' thru the a good first 2 Miles?

With 2,118 finishers there are runners at every pace, so you are never out on your own. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 2 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Dashin' thru the?

The 2 Miles winner ran 10:49 while the median finisher took 43:57. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
