Denison Dash Virtual 5K 2022

Denison University is excited to host the second annual Denison Dash Virtual 5K!

All are welcome to participate in this fun event designed for all ages and abilities. You can walk, run, roll, skate, cycle, or whatever kind of motion best suits you. Last year one participant even swam 5K. Can you top that creativity?

Join your fellow Denisonians in a bit of physical activity today and support a great cause at the same time.

With 273 participants, last year was a huge success. This year we are hoping for 350 Denisonians to join the fun. Show that you are #DenisonProud and register now!

All Denisonians around the world are encouraged to participate.

Specifically, proceeds from this event will go to the Annual Fund, enabling everything from financial aid and scholarships for students to faculty development. You can find more details about the Annual Fund at the bottom of this page.

All registrants are encouraged to join the online community dedicated to this event. In this community, we will share tips and tricks to help you prepare for your 5K.

About the Annual Fund

Consider this fact: Tuition at Denison covers only about 65 percent of what it actually costs to educate a Denison student. The Annual Fund helps to make up the difference.

President Adam Weinberg puts it this way: "The Annual Fund is one of the ways that Denison alumni and other supporters of the university help fund the gap between tuition and what it takes to give people a life-shaping education."

It's where student internships, extracurricular clubs, and interdisciplinary programs get funded. It's where professors with new ideas to bring into the classroom and students dealing with unexpected emergencies go for help, including financial assistance.
