DAS Chicken 5K Walk/Run

🐔🥚 Chicken Run 5K: Crack the Riddle, Run for a Cause! 🏃‍♀️✨

Which came first — the chicken or the egg? 

This spring, we’re racing to find out at the Chicken Run 5K, a fun-filled fundraiser supporting the life-changing work of the Dayton Autism Society!

The 2026 Walk/Run will be June 13th at Island MetroPark at 10:00 am with a "Little Peeps" Fun Run at 9:30 am. This event is our largest fundraising event for our organization that helps us raise money to support the programs for our our families in the Miami Valley. After the race, stick around for music, snacks, and a friendly “chicken vs. egg” showdown where participants cast their votes.

We need all hands on deck to make this event as successful as it can be! Visit our website if you are interested in being a SPONSOR or wish to be an EXHIBITOR (small businesses, therapies, educational organizations, support groups, county DDs, etc) are all welcome to apply.
