Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just getting started, the Dream Big 5K: Run, Walk, Roll is a race for everyone—of all ages and abilities! This exciting charity event benefits EDD Adaptive Sports programs for individuals with disabilities in our community.
Run. Walk. Roll.
The USATF-certified 5K kicks off at Essex Middle School and winds through local neighborhoods. The course is designed to be wheelchair and stroller-friendly, offering a fast, out-and-back route that’s perfect for participants of all speeds!
💥 Your Race, Your Way! 💥
This is a hybrid event with both in-person and virtual race options. Choose your distance and division—whether you’re participating in the general, adaptive standing or adaptive sitting category, there's a place for you!
The Dream Big 5K is more than just a race—it's a celebration of community, inclusion, and impact!
Together, we’re aiming to raise $14,000 to fund life-changing adaptive sports programs. So grab your family, friends, or co-workers, create a team, and get ready for some friendly competition and amazing prizes.
Let's Dream Big together.
