About this race
Looking for the most unusual fall race in the world?
Lace up for the 2027 Discovery Dash on Saturday, Oct. 9, 2027, at Discovery Park of America. This year, experience the 50-acre heritage park in full autumn splendor, complete with crisp fall air and The Settlement transformed into a festive Pumpkin Village.
The route meanders through a man-made river, waterfalls, bridges and other scenic features. No other course lets you dash past a 120-year-old church, an 1800s frontier settlement, a reproduction of an early 19th-century town and a complete vintage train station.
From race-day check-in and pre-race entertainment to the inflatable archway finish line, finisher certificates and winner medals, you won’t want to miss a moment.
Awards will be presented in the 5K and 10K for males and females in the following age categories:
5-8, 9-12, 13-16, 17-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60 and over
