3.21 Dash for Down Syndrome 5K Run/Walk

The Down Syndrome Network of Greater Greensboro (DSNGG) organizes an annual 5K walk/run to honor World Down Syndrome Day. Participants run a 5K, followed by an additional short dash, symbolizing the extra chromosome in individuals with Down syndrome. Proceeds support DSNGG's initiatives for individuals with Down syndrome and their families, including welcome bags for new parents, educational programs, and financial assistance for medical services. Participants are encouraged to join the "Lots of Socks" campaign to raise awareness by wearing unique socks. The event emphasizes community support and awareness for Down syndrome.
