About the Event

Join us for the first annual LSUS 5K Dental Dash, a family-friendly event that will bring students, local families, and community partners together to promote oral health awareness and access to preventive oral healthcare resources. All funds raised from the Dental Dash will go directly toward providing free dental cleanings for LSUS students. This allows students on campus access to essential preventive care. Your participation in this race will also help raise awareness about the importance of regular dental cleanings and overall dental health. So, join us as we turn your steps into smiles on LSUS campus!

About Shreveport

Shreveport is the largest city in Northern Louisiana, part of the twin city metro of Shreveport-Bossier City, and is considered the principal city in the three-state region known as the "Ark-La-Tex." It has about 188,000 residents (2019), and is in the area of the state designated as the Sportsman's Paradise. Many lakes and rivers are in the area and offer recreational activities. The surrounding area is also a contrast from points in southern Louisiana, in that the landscape is marked by rolling hills and pine forests, being an extension of the Texas region known as the Piney Woods.
