We invite you to lace up your sneakers for a family friendly 5k (3.1mi) run and walk from Greens Farm Academy.  You'll be going through a great, scenic location with beautiful water views.  The Dragon Dash features a gentle 5k course that winds along Long Island Sound. All ages and fitness abilities are welcome and encouraged.

Our events start with an untimed, non competitive, half mile Family Fun Run at 8.45 am. The 5K run -or walk - starts at 9.00am. 

The event starts and finishes on the Greens Farm Academy campus where there's plenty of parking. The loop course runs on quiet roads and features some great water views. No matter what your ability level or speed- this course will be one you'll enjoy and remember.  Here's the link to our course map:  http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=7191675

We encourage all abilities to join us on this great course. Run or walk- either way you will have a great experience!

Our event benefits Komera Project which helps young Rwandan women to "be brave, have courage" by providing secondary and post-secondary scholarships, building community, and inspiring confidence through sports, leadership training, and entrepreneurial opportunities. The Komera Club at GFA was founded six years ago to promote greater awareness and deeper understanding of issues related to girls' education and empowerment, both locally and globally. In partnership with the Komera Project, through bake sales and special events, the club supports three Komera scholars -- Olive, Solange, and Ruth.
