About the DLS 5k & 1-Mile for Lewy Body Dementia
The course runs out and back along the W&OD Trail, starting and finishing at Bon Air Park and Rose Gardens. The trail surface is paved road, the route is mostly flat, and the surrounding park setting keeps things pleasant. Proceeds go to the Lewy Body Dementia Association, so the race has a clear purpose behind it.
The start area is at the trailhead at Bon Air Park, with a kids' dash going off just before the main events. Timing is done with a race clock and bibs rather than chips, so results are manual. Those who cannot run in person can participate remotely through a virtual option.
