21st Annual Dolphin Dash 5K

This is our 21st Annual Dolphin Dash, in which we are raising money for Abby's Legacy Foundation. Abby’s Legacy Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports childhood cancer patients through research, care, and love. All money raised from our Winter Carnival, Casholas, and this race will go to this charity.

You may both register and pay for the race on this page. All registrations include a T-shirt designed by an Ocean Lakes student along with a race bag. The cost of the race will be $35, and on race day will increase to $40 (and you will fill out a paper registration form). If the race is cancelled due to inclement weather, it will NOT be rescheduled, and there will be NO REFUNDS. If the race is rescheduled due to other reasons, door prizes will be sent out through a drawing.

Registration on race day will begin at 8:30 AM. The race program will start at 9:00 with the Mini Dash.

Awards: Participants will be given a door prize ticket as they cross the finish line for the multiple door prizes given out at the conclusion of the races. There will be an opportunity to purchase more door prize tickets, with each ticket being $1. Proceeds will also go to Abby's Legacy Foundation.

Door prizes, coupons, and food/drinks are available to every participant.
