Run or walk through our outdoor art museum! 

Join us for the 7th edition of the Artful Dash 5K Run/Walk! The race begins at 10:00 a.m.! 

The Artful Dash is back for a 7th edition in 2024 and is a wonderful event along the trail that runners and walkers look forward to each October and we are so excited to welcome you this year! 

Run or walk to support the Karl Stirner Arts Trail and ensure its ongoing success. The Arts Trail fosters opportunities for the community to experience the interconnectedness of art with nature, history, and health & wellness in a natural urban environment. The race begins behind Don Juan's on North Third Street, and heads onto Bushkill Drive for a quarter-mile, before turning onto the Karl Stirner Arts Trail. Speed past sculptures and works of art or enjoy the sights while walking through the trail. The turnaround and water point are at the 13th Street parking lot. NEW THIS YEAR: All participants will be chip-timed! 

This race is dog-friendly (prize for the first dog past the finish line!) and open to all ages. Runners under 13 must be accompanied by an adult.
Guaranteed long-sleeve T-shirt if you sign up by 11:59 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 15.
