The Diva Dash combines a 5K run over varied terrain and a dozen obstacles designed to challenge aspects of overall fitness, including strength, balance and agility. The Dallas course has features unique to the venue and offers plenty of diversity to keep the run interesting and challenging. Participants will ascend levees, sprint along the river, cross the Santa Fe Truss Bridge, run beneath the Corinth Street overpass, and dash through the flood plain (it’s dry!) to the finish line. Along the way, they’ll climb, swing and jump over obstacles! No mud on this course!
The Diva Dash is unique in the way it allows runners (and walkers) to customize their event-day experience. Competitive runners can run in the single competitive wave at 9:00 a.m., while other participants may saunter along at a more leisurely pace. And all participants can challenge themselves by selecting easy or more difficult obstacles - or skipping them altogether. Prizes will be awarded the top 10 finishers in the 9:00 a.m. wave.
The Diva Dash experience is about empowerment, support and athleticism. For many participants, this is their first running event; for others, it is their first obstacle run. Whatever their level, the supportive and encouraging atmosphere of the Diva Dash are empowering for all, from first-timers to seasoned racers. Costumes and bling are encouraged and contribute to the celebratory mood felt throughout the event. Find out more or register at www.DivaDash.com
