Dash for Downs

Get ready to lace up and dash with a purpose at the 13th Annual Dash for Downs 5K and Kids Fun Run, sponsored by the Yoakum Shape Shop! On May 9, 2026, we're turning historic downtown Yoakum, Texas into a vibrant track of positivity and support for the Down Syndrome Foundation of South Texas.

This isn't just a race; it’s a heartwarming gathering that unites over 300 participants and volunteers in a celebration of inclusion and awareness. Every step you take, whether you're sprinting or strolling, makes a monumental difference in promoting awareness and inclusion for individuals with Down syndrome.

Don't just stand on the sidelines – be part of a community movement that’s all about making strides together. So come on, join the fun, move with intention, and help us make this year's Dash for Downs an unforgettable journey of camaraderie and impact!
