_ The 2018 3-2-1 Deacon Dash:
What’s better than crossing the finish line of a race? Crossing TWO finish lines! People with Down syndrome have an extra chromosome, so this race has a little something EXTRA, too! Official times are recorded at the 5K finish line, then runners go on to DASH the extra 0.11 miles to finish at 3.21 miles, in honor of the 3rd copy of the 21st chromosome present in people with Down syndrome.
