About the Dyslexia Dash - 3+ Mile Run or Walk

The Dyslexia Dash was founded by Juliet Benjamin and is built around a cause: bringing attention to dyslexia and other learning differences, particularly how early detection matters. The course is a run or walk route, open to all paces, and starts and finishes in a fitness center's parking lot.

Packet pickup opens the morning of the race before the start, and same-day registration is accepted up until shortly before the gun. The start and finish are at the Lifetime facility in Westlake, so parking is built into the venue.

Common Questions About the Dyslexia Dash - 3+ Mile Run or Walk

Will I finish last at the Dyslexia Dash - 3+ Mile Run or Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 40:03, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:15:46, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Dyslexia Dash - 3+ Mile Run or Walk a good first 5K?

It is a small race (49 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Dyslexia Dash - 3+ Mile Run or Walk?

The 5K winner ran 19:50 while the median finisher took 40:03. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
