About the SHÁÁDÍÍN KÉSHMISH DASH
The Késhmish Dash is a Christmas morning race put on by a local run club in Red Mesa, with separate events for adults, elders, and toddlers. The courses range from a short sprint for the youngest kids to a longer out-and-back for everyone else, keeping the whole morning in one place and moving at a pace that fits whoever shows up.
Packet pickup happens on race morning before the start, so there is no need to come back the evening before. Awards are presented once all the events have wrapped up, which means the whole family can stick around and watch each other finish before the holiday celebrations start.
