About the Dellinger Dash 3K and "Lake Lap" for Kids
The race is a single loop around Dellinger Park, starting and finishing near the duck pond. The route is mostly flat but includes one real hill on the way up toward the pool, and it is over before it has time to wear you down. The shorter kids' option circles the pond itself, so families can watch both races unfold from roughly the same spot.
Parking is spread throughout the park, so finding a spot is not a struggle. The start area sits right beside the duck pond, which gives the whole morning a pleasant backdrop. Proceeds from the race support youth running programs through a local shoes initiative, so the entry fee is doing something beyond just covering the event.
