Devil Dash 5k 2026

Description

Join us for the first-ever Devil Dash 5k! Participants are invited to run or walk our scenic 5k route along Stratford's Short Beach and into the Lordship community.

All proceeds from this 5k will go to the Stratford High School Cross Country and Track and Field programs.

Course Route

Flat 3.11mi route through the quiet neighborhood of Lordship. Race finishes along a scenic route overlooking the water. Course Map Here .

Roads are still open- you need to run on the left side of the road facing traffic for safety.

We will have public safety and volunteers assisting with road traffic and safety concerns, but we ask that you also pay attention on the road and minimize headphone use on busy streets.

We will have at least 1 water table set up at the 1.5-mile point and water at the finish line. Please bring your own water if you think you will need more throughout the race.

Race day bib pick-up will be from 7:45-8:30 AM on race day, but we strongly encourage runners to pick up their race bags and bibs in advance.
