Register online today!

Night time is the right time to visit downtown Oklahoma City and take part in the 4th annual Downtown Dash. These unique evening 10K and 5K races take place on June 2 and offer a race unlike most. It's the city's only night race that leads you through the heart of the city with spectacular up-close views of the downtown skyline. The Downtown Dash is presented by St. Anthony Hospital, where the races will start and finish. The event kicks off at 6 p.m. and the races begin at 8 p.m.

This family-friendly event will provide fun for both runners and non-runners alike. Attendees will enjoy an informative health expo, inflatable toys, kid activities, a live DJ and more.

Online registration for the Downtown Dash is now open. The first 1,000 entries receives a Dri-Fit version of the race shirt (see the pic below) and will be automatically entered into a drawing for a 1-year membership to the Park Harvey Athletic Club, so register today!
