The first ever Dasher Dash in 2017 was the largest run ever in Rockford. This year's event is expected to be even bigger.

Stroll On State's inaugural Dasher Dash 5K had over 1,000 participants, making it the largest run in Rockford. According to wrex.com, the 2018 dash has a very scenic course set for every skill level. The 5K will start at the UW Health Sports Factory on Madison St. and move through some historic parts of Rockford, cross four bridges and end on Grove Street with hot chocolate and Christmas cookies for runners.

All who register will get a commemorative t-shirt. To register to run in the Dasher Dash 5K, click HERE.
