Bartlett Lion's Dash...

• 5K Run:- Run 3.1 Miles
• 10K Run:- Run 6.2 Miles

The Bartlett Lions are proud to present the 11th annual Lions Day Dash 5K/10K and Kids & Family Dash. The Dash has become a neighborhood tradition. The race was previously known as the Bartlett Lions Labor Day Dash. It is now the Lions Day Dash. In honor of our 11th race, we moved the date to September 11th, one week later. Races start and finish across from Bartlett Village Hall in the Town Center area and the course takes runners and walkers through the lovely, tree-lined streets of Bartlett. Funds raised are used by the Bartlett Lions for those in need in our community. T-Shirts: TECHNICAL DRY-FIT RUNNING SHIRTS! All pre-registered 5K and 10K particpants are guaranteed a dry-fit shirt in their requested size. Tech shirts come in adult sizes only. Kids registered for the Kids & Family dash or those kids running/walking the 5K or 10K requesting child size shirts will receive cotton shirts. Shirts by availability with race day registration.COURSE - 5K/10K:
The 5K/10K course is fast, flat, and fun. Specific details regarding the course route will be available on our website: www.bartlettlions.org and maps will be available on race day at the registration tables. The 5K course is 1 loop starting and finishing on Railroad Avenue; the 10K course is 2 loops of the same course, also starting and finishing on Railroad Avenue.
COURSE - KIDS & FAMILY DASH:
The Kids & Family Dash is a fast, fun, non-competitive race for kids of all ages. There will be two distances, 100 yard dash and 1/4 mile. It is recommended that children under 5 years old be registered for the 100 yard dash. Parents are welcome to run with their children, especially the younger ones. The goal of these short races is to encourage fun and fitness. Each participant will receive a participation medal.
TEAM CHALLENGE:
Sign up for our TEAM CHALLENGE. Teams consist of four or more runners or walkers. There will be trophies awarded to the largest team in both the 5K and the 10K and trophies awarded to the fastest team in both the 5K and 10K. Teams must be registered before the race begins. Fastest team is based on the average finishing time of all those registered to that team. In past years you could only register teams at the race day registration -- this year you can add yourself to a team on race day or right here on SignMeUp! So get your friends, family, neighbors or co-workers together for a fun TEAM CHALLENGE!
